Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
scsi: isci: Fix use-after-free in device removal path<br />
<br />
The ISCI completion tasklet is initialized in isci_host_alloc()<br />
(drivers/scsi/isci/init.c:496) and scheduled from both MSI-X and legacy<br />
interrupt handlers (drivers/scsi/isci/host.c:223,613).<br />
<br />
isci_host_deinit() stops the controller and waits for stop completion,<br />
but it never kills completion_tasklet before teardown continues. A<br />
top-of-function tasklet_kill() is not sufficient here: interrupts are<br />
only disabled when isci_host_stop_complete() runs, so until<br />
wait_for_stop() returns the IRQ handlers can still requeue the<br />
tasklet. The tasklet callback also re-enables interrupts after draining<br />
completions, so killing the tasklet before the source is quiesced leaves<br />
the same race open.<br />
<br />
Once wait_for_stop() returns, no further IRQ-driven scheduling can<br />
occur. Kill completion_tasklet there so teardown cannot race a queued<br />
tasklet running on a dead ihost. On remove or unload, the stale callback<br />
can otherwise dereference ihost and touch ihost->smu_registers after the<br />
host lifetime ends.<br />
<br />
A UML + KASAN analogue reproduced the failure class both with no<br />
tasklet_kill() and with tasklet_kill() placed before source quiesce, and<br />
stayed clean once the kill happened after quiescing the scheduling<br />
source.<br />
<br />
This mirrors commit f6ab594672d4 ("scsi: aic94xx: fix use-after-free in<br />
device removal path"), but ISCI needs the kill after wait_for_stop().
