[PATCH] mISDN: fix use-after-free bugs in l1oip timer handlers

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Tue Sep 20 2022 - 07:57:34 EST


The l1oip_cleanup() traverses the l1oip_ilist and calls
release_card() to cleanup module and stack. However,
release_card() calls del_timer() to delete the timers
such as keep_tl and timeout_tl. If the timer handler is
running, the del_timer() will not stop it and result in
UAF bugs. One of the processes is shown below:

(cleanup routine) | (timer handler)
release_card() | l1oip_timeout()
... |
del_timer() | ...
... |
kfree(hc) //FREE |
| hc->timeout_on = 0 //USE

Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in release_card(), which
makes sure the timer handlers have finished before the
resources, such as l1oip and so on, have been deallocated.
