Title
atm: fore200e: fix use-after-free in tasklets during device removal
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: atm: fore200e: fix use-after-free in tasklets during device removal When the PCA-200E or SBA-200E adapter is being detached, the fore200e is deallocated. However, the tx_tasklet or rx_tasklet may still be running or pending, leading to use-after-free bug when the already freed fore200e is accessed again in fore200e_tx_tasklet() or fore200e_rx_tasklet(). One of the race conditions can occur as follows: CPU 0 (cleanup) | CPU 1 (tasklet) fore200e_pca_remove_one() | fore200e_interrupt() fore200e_shutdown() | tasklet_schedule() kfree(fore200e) | fore200e_tx_tasklet() | fore200e-> // UAF Fix this by ensuring tx_tasklet or rx_tasklet is properly canceled before the fore200e is released. Add tasklet_kill() in fore200e_shutdown() to synchronize with any pending or running tasklets. Moreover, since fore200e_reset() could prevent further interrupts or data transfers, the tasklet_kill() should be placed after fore200e_reset() to prevent the tasklet from being rescheduled in fore200e_interrupt(). Finally, it only needs to do tasklet_kill() when the fore200e state is greater than or equal to FORE200E_STATE_IRQ, since tasklets are uninitialized in earlier states. In a word, the tasklet_kill() should be placed in the FORE200E_STATE_IRQ branch within the switch...case structure. This bug was identified through static analysis.

However, the tx_tasklet or rx_tasklet may still be running\\nor pending, leading to use-after-free bug when the already freed fore200e\\nis accessed again in fore200e_tx_tasklet() or fore200e_rx_tasklet().\\n\\nOne of the race conditions can occur as follows:\\n\\nCPU 0 (cleanup)           | CPU 1 (tasklet)\\nfore200e_pca_remove_one() | fore200e_interrupt()\\n  fore200e_shutdown()     |   tasklet_schedule()\\n    kfree(fore200e)       | fore200e_tx_tasklet()\\n                          |   fore200e-\u003e // UAF\\n\\nFix this by ensuring tx_tasklet or rx_tasklet is properly canceled before\\nthe fore200e is released. Add tasklet_kill() in fore200e_shutdown() to\\nsynchronize with any pending or running tasklets. Moreover, since\\nfore200e_reset() could prevent further interrupts or data transfers,\\nthe tasklet_kill() should be placed after fore200e_reset() to prevent\\nthe tasklet from being rescheduled in fore200e_interrupt(). Finally,\\nit only needs to do tasklet_kill() when the fore200e state is greater\\nthan or equal to FORE200E_STATE_IRQ, since tasklets are uninitialized\\nin earlier states. In a word, the tasklet_kill() should be placed in\\nthe FORE200E_STATE_IRQ branch within the switch...case structure.\\n\\nThis bug was identified through static analysis.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"baseScore\":7.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"HIGH\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"REQUIRED\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.6,\"impactScore\":5.9}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-416\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"2.6.12.1\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.10.252\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"68B6D2AD-7565-4394-B77B-A1EEBCDF590F\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.11\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.15.202\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"4002FC2B-1456-4666-B240-0EBF590C4671\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.16\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.1.165\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"797C7F46-D0BE-4FB8-A502-C5EF8E6B6654\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.2\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.6.128\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"851E9353-6C09-4CC9-877E-E09DB164A3C2\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.7\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.12.75\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"BCE16369-98ED-41CF-8995-DFDC10B288D2\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.13\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.18.16\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"B4B8CDA9-BADF-4CF5-8B3B-702DE8EEA40B\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.19\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.19.6\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"373EEEDA-FAA1-4FB4-B6ED-DB4DD99DBE67\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:-:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"6F62EECE-8FB1-4D57-85D8-CB9E23CF313C\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"4F76C298-81DC-43E4-8FC9-DC005A2116EF\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"0AB349B2-3F78-4197-882B-90ADB3BF645A\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"6AC88830-A9BC-4607-B572-A4B502FC9FD0\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"476CB3A5-D022-4F13-AAEF-CB6A5785516A\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5189368f10903956be05062d160b2804bf5e5016\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73fbc5d1a9ccb626937500bbd67136f077d8237b\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8930878101cd40063888a68af73b1b0f8b6c79bc\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/91f25749aaf57c47ae1e12478144e6ea8c8562f2\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/97900f512252a59f23d6ce4ab215cc88fed66e68\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aba0b4bc09376dfc3d53c826514fe38fc8337f52\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e075ec9b08f862dade8011481058f7eb5f716c57\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e4ff4e3ffcf9d5aad380cdd1d8cdc008bb34f97d\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]}]}}"
