Subject: [PATCH 1/2] EDAC, ghes: Fix Use after free in ghes_edac remove path
Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2019 18:19:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191014171919.85044-2-james.morse@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191014171919.85044-1-james.morse@arm.com>

ghes_edac models a single logical memory controller, and uses a global
ghes_init variable to ensure only the first ghes_edac_register() will
do anything.

ghes_edac is registered the first time a GHES entry in the HEST is probed.
There may be multiple entries, so subsequent attempts to register
ghes_edac are silently ignored as the work has already been done.

When a GHES entry is unregistered, it calls ghes_edac_unregister(), which
free()s the memory behind the global variables in ghes_edac.

... but there may be multiple GHES entries, the next call to
ghes_edac_unregister() will dereference the free()d memory, and
attempt to free it a second time.

This may also be triggered on a platform with one GHES entry, if the
driver is unbound/re-bound and unbound. The re-bind step will do
nothing because of ghes_init, the second unbind will then do the same
work as the first.

This was detected by KASAN and DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
