[PATCH] media: mtk-jpeg: Fix use after free bug due to uncanceled work

[PATCH] media: mtk-jpeg: Fix use after free bug due to uncanceled work

[Zheng Wang]

In mtk_jpeg_probe, &jpeg->job_timeout_work is bound with
mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work. Then mtk_jpeg_dec_device_run
and mtk_jpeg_enc_device_run may be called to start the
work.
If we remove the module which will call mtk_jpeg_remove
to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work. The
possible sequence is as follows, which will cause a
typical UAF bug.

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in the mtk_jpeg_remove

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work
mtk_jpeg_remove     |
  v4l2_m2m_release  |
    kfree(m2m_dev); |
                    |
                    | v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv
                    |   m2m_dev->curr_ctx //use

The empty line is needed (coding style). Also, this doesn't cancel
the worker if it is already running. This should probably be
cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Even then the question is if it is
possible that new work is queued before the device is unregistered.

[Zheng Hacker]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I think you're right. I don't know if there is
other method to stop new work from enqueing. Could you please give me
some advice about the fix?

Regards,
Zheng

Top-posting is discouraged.

Anyway -
I don't know the code well enough to suggest a solution.
It all depends on the driver architecture. The maintainers might
have a better idea.

A worse problem appears to be that the worker is also canceled
from mtk_jpeg_enc_irq() and mtk_jpeg_dec_irq(). Those are non-threaded
interrupt handlers which, as far as I know, must not sleep and thus
can not call cancel_delayed_work_sync(). I have no idea how to solve
that problem either.

Sorry I forgot that. Thanks for the kind reminder.

Yes, some related developers have reached out to me and discussed fixes with me.

I'd be glad to pass along your thoughts and recommendations to the
relevant parties.
