In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix use-after-free bug in brcmf_cfg80211_detach
This is the candidate patch of CVE-2023-47233 :
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-47233
In brcm80211 driver,it starts with the following invoking chain
to start init a timeout worker:
->brcmf_usb_probe
->brcmf_usb_probe_cb
->brcmf_attach
->brcmf_bus_started
->brcmf_cfg80211_attach
->wl_init_priv
->brcmf_init_escan
->INIT_WORK(&cfg->escan_timeout_work,
brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker);
If we disconnect the USB by hotplug, it will call
brcmf_usb_disconnect to make cleanup. The invoking chain is :
brcmf_usb_disconnect
->brcmf_usb_disconnect_cb
->brcmf_detach
->brcmf_cfg80211_detach
->kfree(cfg);
While the timeout woker may still be running. This will cause
a use-after-free bug on cfg in brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker.
Fix it by deleting the timer and canceling the worker in
brcmf_cfg80211_detach.
[[email protected]: keep timer delete as is and cancel work just before free]
