Hyunwoo Kim 8028ff4cdb efi: capsule-loader: Fix use-after-free in efi_capsule_write
commit 9cb636b5f6a8cc6d1b50809ec8f8d33ae0c84c95 upstream.

A race condition may occur if the user calls close() on another thread
during a write() operation on the device node of the efi capsule.

This is a race condition that occurs between the efi_capsule_write() and
efi_capsule_flush() functions of efi_capsule_fops, which ultimately
results in UAF.

So, the page freeing process is modified to be done in
efi_capsule_release() instead of efi_capsule_flush().

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.
