[PATCH 5.17 129/225] mctp: defer the kfree of object mdev->addrs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Lin Ma <linma@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b561275d633bcd8e0e8055ab86f1a13df75a0269 ]

The function mctp_unregister() reclaims the device's relevant resource
when a netcard detaches. However, a running routine may be unaware of
this and cause the use-after-free of the mdev->addrs object.

The race condition can be demonstrated below

cleanup thread another thread
|
unregister_netdev() | mctp_sendmsg()
... | ...
mctp_unregister() | rt = mctp_route_lookup()
... | mctl_local_output()
kfree(mdev->addrs) | ...
| saddr = rt->dev->addrs[0];
|

An attacker can adopt the (recent provided) mtcpserial driver with pty
to fake the device detaching and use the userfaultfd to increase the
race success chance (in mctp_sendmsg). The KASan report for such a POC
is shown below:

To this end, just like the commit e04480920d1e ("Bluetooth: defer
cleanup of resources in hci_unregister_dev()") this patch defers the
destructive kfree(mdev->addrs) in mctp_unregister to the mctp_dev_put,
where the refcount of mdev is zero and the entire device is reclaimed.
This prevents the use-after-free because the sendmsg thread holds the
reference of mdev in the mctp_route object.
