[PATCH] scsi: libsas: fix use-after-free bug in smp_execute_task_sg

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Tue Sep 20 2022 - 10:42:59 EST


When executing SMP task failed, the smp_execute_task_sg()
calls del_timer() to delete the "slow_task->timer". However,
if the timer handler sas_task_internal_timedout() is running,
the del_timer() in smp_execute_task_sg() will not stop it
and the UAF bug will happen. The process is shown below:

(thread 1) | (thread 2)
smp_execute_task_sg() | sas_task_internal_timedout()
... |
del_timer() |
... | ...
sas_free_task(task) |
kfree(task->slow_task) //FREE|
| task->slow_task->... //USE

Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in smp_execute_task_sg(),
which makes sure the timer handler have finished before
the "task->slow_task" is deallocated.
