From 22a1e7783e173ab3d86018eb590107d68df46c11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2016 10:49:31 +0100 Subject: xc2028: Fix use-after-free bug properly The commit 8dfbcc4351a0 ("[media] xc2028: avoid use after free") tried to address the reported use-after-free by clearing the reference. However, it's clearing the wrong pointer; it sets NULL to priv->ctrl.fname, but it's anyway overwritten by the next line memcpy(&priv->ctrl, p, sizeof(priv->ctrl)). OTOH, the actual code accessing the freed string is the strcmp() call with priv->fname: if (!firmware_name[0] && p->fname && priv->fname && strcmp(p->fname, priv->fname)) free_firmware(priv); where priv->fname points to the previous file name, and this was already freed by kfree(). For fixing the bug properly, this patch does the following: - Keep the copy of firmware file name in only priv->fname, priv->ctrl.fname isn't changed; - The allocation is done only when the firmware gets loaded; - The kfree() is called in free_firmware() commonly Fixes: commit 8dfbcc4351a0 ('[media] xc2028: avoid use after free') Cc: Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/media') diff --git a/drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c b/drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c index 317ef63ee789..8d96a22647b3 100644 --- a/drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c +++ b/drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c @@ -281,6 +281,14 @@ static void free_firmware(struct xc2028_data *priv) int i; tuner_dbg("%s called\n", __func__); + /* free allocated f/w string */ + if (priv->fname != firmware_name) + kfree(priv->fname); + priv->fname = NULL; + + priv->state = XC2028_NO_FIRMWARE; + memset(&priv->cur_fw, 0, sizeof(priv->cur_fw)); + if (!priv->firm) return; @@ -291,9 +299,6 @@ static void free_firmware(struct xc2028_data *priv) priv->firm = NULL; priv->firm_size = 0; - priv->state = XC2028_NO_FIRMWARE; - - memset(&priv->cur_fw, 0, sizeof(priv->cur_fw)); } static int load_all_firmwares(struct dvb_frontend *fe, @@ -884,9 +889,8 @@ read_not_reliable: return 0; fail: - priv->state = XC2028_NO_FIRMWARE; + free_firmware(priv); - memset(&priv->cur_fw, 0, sizeof(priv->cur_fw)); if (retry_count < 8) { msleep(50); retry_count++; @@ -1332,11 +1336,8 @@ static int xc2028_dvb_release(struct dvb_frontend *fe) mutex_lock(&xc2028_list_mutex); /* only perform final cleanup if this is the last instance */ - if (hybrid_tuner_report_instance_count(priv) == 1) { + if (hybrid_tuner_report_instance_count(priv) == 1) free_firmware(priv); - kfree(priv->ctrl.fname); - priv->ctrl.fname = NULL; - } if (priv) hybrid_tuner_release_state(priv); @@ -1399,19 +1400,8 @@ static int xc2028_set_config(struct dvb_frontend *fe, void *priv_cfg) /* * Copy the config data. - * For the firmware name, keep a local copy of the string, - * in order to avoid troubles during device release. */ - kfree(priv->ctrl.fname); - priv->ctrl.fname = NULL; memcpy(&priv->ctrl, p, sizeof(priv->ctrl)); - if (p->fname) { - priv->ctrl.fname = kstrdup(p->fname, GFP_KERNEL); - if (priv->ctrl.fname == NULL) { - rc = -ENOMEM; - goto unlock; - } - } /* * If firmware name changed, frees firmware.
