There is a potential UAF bug in nfcmrvl usb driver between
unregister and resume operation.
The race that cause that UAF can be shown as below:
(FREE) | (USE)
| nfcmrvl_resume
| nfcmrvl_submit_bulk_urb
| nfcmrvl_bulk_complete
| nfcmrvl_nci_recv_frame
| nfcmrvl_fw_dnld_recv_frame
| skb_queue_tail
nfcmrvl_disconnect |
nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev |
nfcmrvl_fw_dnld_deinit | ...
destroy_workqueue //(1) |
... | queue_work //(2)
When nfcmrvl usb driver is resuming, we detach the device.
The workqueue is destroyed in position (1), but it will be
latter used in position (2), which leads to data race.
This patch reorders the nfcmrvl_fw_dnld_deinit after
nci_unregister_device in order to prevent UAF. Because
nci_unregister_device will not return until finish all
operations from upper layer.

I miss here something. How can you queue work on a destroyed workqueue?
When workqueue is destroyed, no more work should be executed. Unless you
mean the case that draining the work (during destroying, not after)
causes the (2) to happen?

The new order matches reverse-probe, so actually makes sense.

Hello,
I am sorry for the delay.

Sorry, I make a mistake in my patch. The destroy_workqueue() will not
return until all work is finished. So the UAF bug is not exist.
Actually, there is a double free bug in nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev(). The root
cause is shown below:
(FREE) | (USE)
| nfcmrvl_resume
| nfcmrvl_submit_bulk_urb
| nfcmrvl_bulk_complete
| nfcmrvl_nci_recv_frame
| nfcmrvl_fw_dnld_recv_frame
| queue_work
| fw_dnld_rx_work
| fw_dnld_over
| release_firmware
| kfree(fw); //(1)
nfcmrvl_disconnect |
nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev |
nfcmrvl_fw_dnld_abort |
fw_dnld_over | ...
if (priv->fw_dnld.fw) |
release_firmware |
kfree(fw); //(2) |
... | fw = NULL;
When nfcmrvl usb driver is resuming, we detach the device.
The release_firmware() will deallocate firmware in position (1),
but firmware will be deallocate again in position (2), which
leads to double free.

I will send "[PATCH] drivers: nfc: nfcmrvl: fix double free bug in
nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev()" as soon as possible.

Indeed. The code looks racy. It uses the fw_download_in_progress
variable which in core is partially protected with device_lock(). Moving
code around might not solve the issue entirely because there is no
synchronization here.
