[media] media: fix media devnode ioctl/syscall and unregister race
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Media devnode open/ioctl could be in progress when media device unregister
is initiated. System calls and ioctls check media device registered status
at the beginning, however, there is a window where unregister could be in
progress without changing the media devnode status to unregistered.

process 1				process 2
fd = open(/dev/media0)
media_devnode_is_registered()
	(returns true here)

					media_device_unregister()
						(unregister is in progress
						and devnode isn't
						unregistered yet)
					...
ioctl(fd, ...)
__media_ioctl()
media_devnode_is_registered()
	(returns true here)
					...
					media_devnode_unregister()
					...
					(driver releases the media device
					memory)

media_device_ioctl()
	(By this point
	devnode->media_dev does not
	point to allocated memory.
	use-after free in in mutex_lock_nested)

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mutex_lock_nested+0x79c/0x800 at addr
ffff8801ebe914f0

Fix it by clearing register bit when unregister starts to avoid the race.

process 1                               process 2
fd = open(/dev/media0)
media_devnode_is_registered()
        (could return true here)

                                        media_device_unregister()
                                                (clear the register bit,
						 then start unregister.)
                                        ...
ioctl(fd, ...)
__media_ioctl()
media_devnode_is_registered()
        (return false here, ioctl
	 returns I/O error, and
	 will not access media
	 device memory)
                                        ...
                                        media_devnode_unregister()
                                        ...
                                        (driver releases the media device
					 memory)
