In general timer_shutdown*() is used for the code path to clean up the driver (or the object the timer belongs to). The PCM close is only about the PCM stream, and it's not the place. A proper fix would be rather to implement two things: - Call mod_timer() conditionally in run_spu_dma() - Implement PCM sync_stop op to cancel/flush the work The former alone should suffice to fix the UAF in your scenario, though. The latter will cover other possible corner cases. thanks, Takashi > flush_work(&(dreamcastcard->spu_dma_work)); > - del_timer(&dreamcastcard->timer); > dreamcastcard->substream = NULL; > kfree(dreamcastcard->channel); > spu_disable(); > -- > 2.17.1 >

The latter will cover other possible corner cases. Thank you for your time and reply! I know using timer_shutdown_sync() is not proper. In order to solve the problem, I add a shutdown flag in the struct snd_card_aica and set the flag to true when the PCM stream is closing. Then call mod_timer() conditionally in run_spu_dma(). What's more, use del_timer_sync() to stop the timer and put it before flush_work(). As a result, both timer and worker could be stopped safely. The detail is shown below: diff --git a/sound/sh/aica.c b/sound/sh/aica.c index 320ac792c7fe..dab005eda7f0 100644 --- a/sound/sh/aica.c +++ b/sound/sh/aica.c @@ -278,7 +278,8 @@ static void run_spu_dma(struct work_struct *work) dreamcastcard->clicks++; if (unlikely(dreamcastcard->clicks >= AICA_PERIOD_NUMBER)) dreamcastcard->clicks %= AICA_PERIOD_NUMBER; - mod_timer(&dreamcastcard->timer, jiffies + 1); + if (!dreamcastcard->shutdown) + mod_timer(&dreamcastcard->timer, jiffies + 1); } } @@ -347,6 +348,7 @@ static int snd_aicapcm_pcm_open(struct snd_pcm_substream dreamcastcard->clicks = 0; dreamcastcard->current_period = 0; dreamcastcard->dma_check = 0; + dreamcastcard->shutdown = false; return 0; } @@ -354,8 +356,9 @@ static int snd_aicapcm_pcm_close(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) { struct snd_card_aica *dreamcastcard = substream->pcm->private_data; + dreamcastcard->shutdown = true; + del_timer_sync(&dreamcastcard->timer); flush_work(&(dreamcastcard->spu_dma_work)); - del_timer(&dreamcastcard->timer); dreamcastcard->substream = NULL; kfree(dreamcastcard->channel); spu_disable(); diff --git a/sound/sh/aica.h b/sound/sh/aica.h index 021b132e088e..59a9deaf3dd3 100644 --- a/sound/sh/aica.h +++ b/sound/sh/aica.h @@ -65,4 +65,5 @@ struct snd_card_aica { struct timer_list timer; int master_volume; int dma_check; + bool shutdown; }; I would be very appreciate, if you could give me some suggestions about the above solution.

You don't disconnect the device at closing the stream at all. And the state change is handled in PCM core side, not in the driver side. > + del_timer_sync(&dreamcastcard->timer); > flush_work(&(dreamcastcard->spu_dma_work)); > - del_timer(&dreamcastcard->timer); I'd leave this unchanged. The UAF itself is covered by the stream state check. And, if any, we can change more properly: - Add the same PCM state check at the beginning of aica_period_elapsed(), and bail out immediately if not running - Implement PCM sync_stop ops: it should have like static int snd_aicapcm_pcm_sync_stop(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) { struct snd_card_aica *dreamcastcard = substream->pcm->private_data; del_timer_sync(&dreamcastcard->timer); cancel_work_sync(&dreamcastcard->spu_dma_work); return 0; } and get rid of the corresponding calls from snd_aicapcm_pcm_close() thanks, Takashi

Then it'll be called from PCM core appropriately when needed (e.g. before calling the close callback via hw_free call). thanks, Takashi

Thank you for your suggestions! I have sent the v2 that adds snd_aicapcm_pcm_sync_stop to snd_aicapcm_playback_ops definition. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/alsa-devel/patch/20240326094238.95442-1-duoming@zju.edu.cn/ Best regards, Duoming Zhou

The dreamcastcard->timer could schedule the spu_dma_work and the spu_dma_work could also arm the dreamcastcard->timer. When the Yamaha AICA card is closing, the dreamcastcard->channel will be deallocated. But it could still be dereferenced in the worker thread. The reason is that del_timer() will return directly regardless of whether the timer handler is running or not and the worker could be rescheduled in the timer handler. As a result, the UAF bug will happen. The racy situation is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) snd_aicapcm_pcm_close() | ... | run_spu_dma() //worker | mod_timer() flush_work() | del_timer() | aica_period_elapsed() //timer kfree(dreamcastcard->channel) | schedule_work() | run_spu_dma() //worker ... | dreamcastcard->channel-> //USE In order to mitigate this bug, use timer_shutdown_sync() to shutdown the timer and then use flush_work() to cancel the worker.
