{"id":"CVE-2025-39995","summary":"media: i2c: tc358743: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by orphan timer in probe","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: i2c: tc358743: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by orphan timer in probe\n\nThe state-\u003etimer is a cyclic timer that schedules work_i2c_poll and\ndelayed_work_enable_hotplug, while rearming itself. Using timer_delete()\nfails to guarantee the timer isn't still running when destroyed, similarly\ncancel_delayed_work() cannot ensure delayed_work_enable_hotplug has\nterminated if already executing. During probe failure after timer\ninitialization, these may continue running as orphans and reference the\nalready-freed tc358743_state object through tc358743_irq_poll_timer.\n\nThe following is the trace captured by KASAN.\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __run_timer_base.part.0+0x7d7/0x8c0\nWrite of size 8 at addr ffff88800ded83c8 by task swapper/1/0\n...\nCall Trace:\n \u003cIRQ\u003e\n dump_stack_lvl+0x55/0x70\n print_report+0xcf/0x610\n ? __pfx_sched_balance_find_src_group+0x10/0x10\n ? __run_timer_base.part.0+0x7d7/0x8c0\n kasan_report+0xb8/0xf0\n ? __run_timer_base.part.0+0x7d7/0x8c0\n __run_timer_base.part.0+0x7d7/0x8c0\n ? rcu_sched_clock_irq+0xb06/0x27d0\n ? __pfx___run_timer_base.part.0+0x10/0x10\n ? try_to_wake_up+0xb15/0x1960\n ? tmigr_update_events+0x280/0x740\n ? _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x80/0xe0\n ? __pfx__raw_spin_lock_irq+0x10/0x10\n tmigr_handle_remote_up+0x603/0x7e0\n ? __pfx_tmigr_handle_remote_up+0x10/0x10\n ? sched_balance_trigger+0x98/0x9f0\n ? sched_tick+0x221/0x5a0\n ? _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x80/0xe0\n ? __pfx__raw_spin_lock_irq+0x10/0x10\n ? tick_nohz_handler+0x339/0x440\n ? __pfx_tmigr_handle_remote_up+0x10/0x10\n __walk_groups.isra.0+0x42/0x150\n tmigr_handle_remote+0x1f4/0x2e0\n ? __pfx_tmigr_handle_remote+0x10/0x10\n ? ktime_get+0x60/0x140\n ? lapic_next_event+0x11/0x20\n ? clockevents_program_event+0x1d4/0x2a0\n ? hrtimer_interrupt+0x322/0x780\n handle_softirqs+0x16a/0x550\n irq_exit_rcu+0xaf/0xe0\n sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x70/0x80\n \u003c/IRQ\u003e\n...\n\nAllocated by task 141:\n kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x50\n kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30\n __kasan_kmalloc+0x7f/0x90\n __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x198/0x430\n devm_kmalloc+0x7b/0x1e0\n tc358743_probe+0xb7/0x610  i2c_device_probe+0x51d/0x880\n really_probe+0x1ca/0x5c0\n __driver_probe_device+0x248/0x310\n driver_probe_device+0x44/0x120\n __device_attach_driver+0x174/0x220\n bus_for_each_drv+0x100/0x190\n __device_attach+0x206/0x370\n bus_probe_device+0x123/0x170\n device_add+0xd25/0x1470\n i2c_new_client_device+0x7a0/0xcd0\n do_one_initcall+0x89/0x300\n do_init_module+0x29d/0x7f0\n load_module+0x4f48/0x69e0\n init_module_from_file+0xe4/0x150\n idempotent_init_module+0x320/0x670\n __x64_sys_finit_module+0xbd/0x120\n do_syscall_64+0xac/0x280\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\nFreed by task 141:\n kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x50\n kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30\n kasan_save_free_info+0x3a/0x60\n __kasan_slab_free+0x3f/0x50\n kfree+0x137/0x370\n release_nodes+0xa4/0x100\n devres_release_group+0x1b2/0x380\n i2c_device_probe+0x694/0x880\n really_probe+0x1ca/0x5c0\n __driver_probe_device+0x248/0x310\n driver_probe_device+0x44/0x120\n __device_attach_driver+0x174/0x220\n bus_for_each_drv+0x100/0x190\n __device_attach+0x206/0x370\n bus_probe_device+0x123/0x170\n device_add+0xd25/0x1470\n i2c_new_client_device+0x7a0/0xcd0\n do_one_initcall+0x89/0x300\n do_init_module+0x29d/0x7f0\n load_module+0x4f48/0x69e0\n init_module_from_file+0xe4/0x150\n idempotent_init_module+0x320/0x670\n __x64_sys_finit_module+0xbd/0x120\n do_syscall_64+0xac/0x280\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n...\n\nReplace timer_delete() with timer_delete_sync() and cancel_delayed_work()\nwith cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure proper termination of timer and\nwork items before resource cleanup.\n\nThis bug was initially identified through static analysis.
