From 7fd0d9d10e5dcc9e84ed34474053d78ed33be517 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Van Asbroeck Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2019 14:36:35 -0400 Subject: rtc: 88pm860x: prevent use-after-free on device remove [ Upstream commit f22b1ba15ee5785aa028384ebf77dd39e8e47b70 ] The device's remove() attempts to shut down the delayed_work scheduled on the kernel-global workqueue by calling flush_scheduled_work(). Unfortunately, flush_scheduled_work() does not prevent the delayed_work from re-scheduling itself. The delayed_work might run after the device has been removed, and touch the already de-allocated info structure. This is a potential use-after-free. Fix by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() during remove(): this ensures that the delayed work is properly cancelled, is no longer running, and is not able to re-schedule itself. This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
