Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: fix use-after-free on unbind
ad_sd_buffer_postenable() allocates sigma_delta->samples_buf with
devm_krealloc() at runtime, so its devres entry sits after all
probe-time entries of the driver. devm resources are released in
reverse allocation order, which means unbind frees samples_buf before
iio_device_unregister() disables the buffers and detaches the trigger
pollfunc. The data ready IRQ is still enabled at that point, so
ad_sd_trigger_handler() can still run and memcpy() incoming samples
into the freed samples_buf.
Fix this by preallocating the buffer in
devm_ad_sd_setup_buffer_and_trigger(), before the triggered buffer and
the IRQ are set up, so it is freed only after iio_device_unregister()
has drained the trigger handler via free_irq(). Size it for the worst
case of all sequencer slots being active; ad_sd_validate_scan_mask()
already caps the number of active channels at num_slots.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
