NFC: reorder the logic in nfc_{un,}register_device
[ Upstream commit 3e3b5dfcd16a3e254aab61bd1e8c417dd4503102 ]
There is a potential UAF between the unregistration routine and the NFC
netlink operations.
The race that cause that UAF can be shown as below:
(FREE) | (USE)
nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev | nfc_genl_dev_up
nci_close_device |
nci_unregister_device | nfc_get_device
nfc_unregister_device | nfc_dev_up
rfkill_destory |
device_del | rfkill_blocked
... | ...
The root cause for this race is concluded below:
1. The rfkill_blocked (USE) in nfc_dev_up is supposed to be placed after
the device_is_registered check.
2. Since the netlink operations are possible just after the device_add
in nfc_register_device, the nfc_dev_up() can happen anywhere during the
rfkill creation process, which leads to data race.
This patch reorder these actions to permit
1. Once device_del is finished, the nfc_dev_up cannot dereference the
rfkill object.
2. The rfkill_register need to be placed after the device_add of nfc_dev
because the parent device need to be created first. So this patch keeps
the order but inject device_lock to prevent the data race.
