Duoming Zhou 28c8fd84be drivers: hamradio: 6pack: fix UAF bug caused by mod_timer()
commit efe4186e6a1b54bf38b9e05450d43b0da1fd7739 upstream.

When a 6pack device is detaching, the sixpack_close() will act to cleanup
necessary resources. Although del_timer_sync() in sixpack_close()
won't return if there is an active timer, one could use mod_timer() in
sp_xmit_on_air() to wake up timer again by calling userspace syscall such
as ax25_sendmsg(), ax25_connect() and ax25_ioctl().

This unexpected waked handler, sp_xmit_on_air(), realizes nothing about
the undergoing cleanup and may still call pty_write() to use driver layer
resources that have already been released.

One of the possible race conditions is shown below:

      (USE)                      |      (FREE)
ax25_sendmsg()                   |
 ax25_queue_xmit()               |
  ...                            |
  sp_xmit()                      |
   sp_encaps()                   | sixpack_close()
    sp_xmit_on_air()             |  del_timer_sync(&sp->tx_t)
     mod_timer(&sp->tx_t,...)    |  ...
                                 |  unregister_netdev()
                                 |  ...
     (wait a while)              | tty_release()
                                 |  tty_release_struct()
                                 |   release_tty()
    sp_xmit_on_air()             |    tty_kref_put(tty_struct) //FREE
     pty_write(tty_struct) //USE |    ...

The corresponding fail log is shown below:
===============================================================
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __run_timers.part.0+0x170/0x470

This patch reorders the del_timer_sync() after the unregister_netdev()
to avoid UAF bugs. Because the unregister_netdev() is well synchronized,
it flushs out any pending queues, waits the refcount of net_device
decreases to zero and removes net_device from kernel. There is not any
running routines after executing unregister_netdev(). Therefore, we could
not arouse timer from userspace again.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
