Just my thougth about this patch: INIT_WORK(&pdata->set_multicast, smsc75xx_deferred_multicast_write); does not queue anything, it just initalizes list structure and assigns callback function. The actual work sheduling happens in smsc75xx_set_multicast() which is smsc75xx_netdev_ops member. In case of any error in smsc75xx_bind() the device registration fails and smsc75xx_netdev_ops won't be registered, so, i guess, there is no chance of UAF. Am I missing something? :) With regards, Pavel Skripkin

However, as written in the commit message, smsc75xx_set_multicast will be called by smsc75xx_reset [1]. If smsc75xx_set_multicast is called before any check failure occurs, this work(set_multicast) will be queued into the global list with schedule_work(&pdata->set_multicast); [2] At last, if the pdata or dev->data[0] is freed before the set_multicast really executes, it may lead to a UAF. Is this correct? BTW, even if the above is true, I don't know if I call the API ``cancel_work_sync(&pdata->set_multicast)'' properly if the schedule_work is not called.

Hi gregkh, If the schedule_work is not invoked, can I call ``cancel_work_sync(&pdata->set_multicast)''? If not, is there any method to verify if the schedule_work is already called?

I don't know the internal of schedule_work and cancel_work_sync, so I ask this question to confirm my patch does not introduce any new issues. > > Did you try it and see? Yes, I thought up a method and tested it in my local workspace. First, I reproduced the memory leak in smsc75xx_bind [1] since the PoC triggered an error before schedule_work. Then, I merged two patches, and run the PoC. The result showed that my patch does not trigger any new issues even the schedule_work is not called.

I agree with this style of error handling. However, I need to adjust the location of dev->data[0] = 0 after kfree(pdata) because if there still leaves a dangling pointer it directly goes to free_pdata. > > > > > At last, if the pdata or dev->data[0] is freed before the > > set_multicast really executes, it may lead to a UAF.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've tested it under the previous kernel crash. It works fine.

The commit 46a8b29c6306 ("net: usb: fix memory leak in smsc75xx_bind") fails to clean up the work scheduled in smsc75xx_reset-> smsc75xx_set_multicast, which leads to use-after-free if the work is scheduled to start after the deallocation. In addition, this patch also removes one dangling pointer - dev->data[0]. This patch calls cancel_work_sync to cancel the schedule work and set the dangling pointer to NULL.
