Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: brcmfmac: drain bus_reset work on device removal<br />
<br />
brcmf_fw_crashed() and the debugfs "reset" entry both schedule<br />
drvr->bus_reset, whose callback recovers drvr through container_of()<br />
and dereferences it. The removal path frees drvr (brcmf_free -><br />
wiphy_free) without draining the work, so a bus_reset callback pending<br />
or running during removal can outlive drvr.<br />
<br />
Cancellation cannot live in brcmf_detach() or brcmf_free(): the work<br />
callback reaches teardown through the bus .reset op (PCIe<br />
brcmf_pcie_reset -> brcmf_detach; SDIO brcmf_sdio_bus_reset -><br />
brcmf_sdiod_remove -> brcmf_free), so cancelling there would wait for<br />
the running work and deadlock.<br />
<br />
Add a per-bus mutex (bus_reset_lock) and route all arming through<br />
brcmf_bus_schedule_reset(), which under the lock skips when the bus is<br />
marked removing. Each bus remove entry calls<br />
brcmf_bus_cancel_reset_work(), which under the same lock sets removing<br />
and cancels the work. Holding the mutex across cancel_work_sync() makes<br />
the set-removing + drain step atomic. Every producer reaches the arming<br />
path from process context -- the PCIe firmware-halt notification runs in<br />
the threaded IRQ handler (brcmf_pcie_isr_thread) and the SDIO hostmail<br />
path runs from the data workqueue -- so the mutex is taken only in<br />
sleepable contexts. Where applicable the remove entry first stops the<br />
firmware-crash producer: on PCIe mask the mailbox and synchronize_irq;<br />
on SDIO unregister the bus interrupt and cancel the data worker, which<br />
also reports firmware halts through brcmf_fw_crashed(). The mutex is<br />
initialized at bus allocation. The SDIO suspend power-off path frees<br />
drvr through the same brcmf_sdiod_remove() and takes the same lock;<br />
resume re-allows the work only on a successful re-probe.<br />
<br />
Also guard brcmf_fw_crashed() against a NULL bus_if/drvr: it can fire<br />
before brcmf_attach() wires up drvr, and it dereferences drvr<br />
(bphy_err/brcmf_dev_coredump) before reaching the arming gate.<br />
<br />
The bus_reset work is shared across buses, so the drain is applied to<br />
every remove path: PCIe (the .reset op introduced by the Fixes commit),<br />
SDIO (arms the same work through brcmf_fw_crashed()), and USB (via the<br />
debugfs "reset" entry). cancel_work_sync() drains a running or pending<br />
bus_reset work item before removal frees drvr, and patch 1/2 makes the<br />
scratch-buffer release safe when reset teardown has already released<br />
those DMA buffers.<br />
<br />
This patch fixes the lifetime of the bus_reset work item itself. It does<br />
not attempt to address the separate, pre-existing lifetime of the<br />
asynchronous firmware completion started by the PCIe reset path. That<br />
callback needs its own lifetime/ownership protocol and is being tracked<br />
separately.<br />
<br />
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
