[RFC PATCH] xhci: Fix memory use after free in xhci_free_virt_device

From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Tue Nov 15 2016 - 15:36:58 EST


The following use-after-free reports were seen on resume with a specific
USB hub.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in xhci_free_virt_device+0x8c/0x21c
at addr ffffffc0cc1a2eb0
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in xhci_update_tt_active_eps+0x9c/0xdc
at addr ffffffc0cc1a2eb0

Relevant traceback for the first case is:

xhci_free_virt_device+0x8c/0x21c
xhci_mem_cleanup+0x294/0x81c
xhci_resume+0x410/0x618
xhci_plat_resume+0x54/0x74
platform_pm_resume+0x74/0x84

which points to the following code in xhci_free_virt_device().

if (dev->tt_info)
old_active_eps = dev->tt_info->active_eps;

Problem with this code is that xhci_mem_cleanup() cleans up devices
starting with slot 1, and dev->tt_info for a device with higher slot
number can point back to the tt_info associated with device 1.
In lsusb, this looks as follows.

/: Bus 05.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/1p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
|__ Port 3: Dev 7, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 12M

When the higher-numbered device is cleared, it tries to access the already
released tt_info from slot 1 to get the value of old_active_eps.

The problem is not seen with all USB hubs since not all USB hubs require
the cleanup handling in xhci_resume().

Marked as RFC because I don't really like this fix at all and would prefer
a different solution.

It might be possible, for example, to change the code in xhci_mem_cleanup()
from
for (i = 1; i < MAX_HC_SLOTS; ++i)
xhci_free_virt_device(xhci, i);
to
for (i = MAX_HC_SLOTS - 1; i >= 1; i--)
xhci_free_virt_device(xhci, i);
if it is guaranteed that tt_info never points to a device with higher slot
number.
