Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: master: cdns: Fix use after free vulnerability in cdns_i3c_master Driver Due to Race Condition
In the cdns_i3c_master_probe function, &master->hj_work is bound with cdns_i3c_master_hj. And cdns_i3c_master_interrupt can call cnds_i3c_master_demux_ibis function to start the work.
If we remove the module which will call cdns_i3c_master_remove to make cleanup, it will free master->base through i3c_master_unregister while the work mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| cdns_i3c_master_hj cdns_i3c_master_remove | i3c_master_unregister(&master->base) | device_unregister(&master->dev) | device_release | //free master->base | | i3c_master_do_daa(&master->base) | //use master->base
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with the cleanup in cdns_i3c_master_remove.
