Retrieving + printing the protocol (harmless race):\n\n\tif (!hidpp->protocol_major) {\n\t\thidpp_root_get_protocol_version()\n\t\thidpp->protocol_major = response.rap.params[0];\n\t}\n\nWe can actually see this race hit in the dmesg in the abrt output\nattached to rhbz#2227968:\n\n[ 3064.624215] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.\n[ 3064.658184] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.\n\nTesting with extra logging added has shown that after this the 2 threads\ntake turn grabbing the hw access mutex (send_mutex) so they ping-pong\nthrough all the other TOCTOU cases managing to hit all of them:\n\n2. Updating the name to the HIDPP name (harmless race):\n\n\tif (hidpp->name == hdev->name) {\n\t\t...\n\t\thidpp->name = new_name;\n\t}\n\n3. Initializing the power_supply class for the battery (problematic!):\n\nhidpp_initialize_battery()\n{\n if (hidpp->battery.ps)\n return 0;\n\n\tprobe_battery(); /* Blocks, threads take turns executing this */\n\n\thidpp->battery.desc.properties =\n\t\tdevm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);\n\n\thidpp->battery.ps =\n\t\tdevm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,\n\t\t\t\t\t &hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);\n}\n\n4. Creating delayed input_device (potentially problematic):\n\n\tif (hidpp->delayed_input)\n\t\treturn;\n\n\thidpp->delayed_input = hidpp_allocate_input(hdev);\n\nThe really big problem here is 3. Hitting the race leads to the following\nsequence:\n\n\thidpp->battery.desc.properties =\n\t\tdevm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);\n\n\thidpp->battery.ps =\n\t\tdevm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,\n\t\t\t\t\t &hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);\n\n\t...\n\n\thidpp->battery.desc.properties =\n\t\tdevm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);\n\n\thidpp->battery.ps =\n\t\tdevm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,\n\t\t\t\t\t &hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);\n\nSo now we have registered 2 power supplies for the same battery,\nwhich looks a bit weird from userspace's pov but this is not even\nthe really big problem.\n\nNotice how:\n\n1. This is all devm-maganaged\n2. The hidpp->battery.desc struct is shared between the 2 power supplies\n3. hidpp->battery.desc.properties points to the result from the second\n devm_kmemdup()\n\nThis causes a use after free scenario on USB disconnect of the receiver:\n1. The last registered power supply class device gets unregistered\n2. The memory from the last devm_kmemdup() call gets freed,\n hidpp->battery.desc.properties now points to freed memory\n3. The first registered power supply class device gets unregistered,\n this involves sending a remove uevent to userspace which invokes\n power_supply_uevent() to fill the uevent data\n4. power_supply_uevent() uses hidpp->battery.desc.properties which\n now points to freed memory leading to backtraces like this one:\n\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: BUG: unable to handle page fault for

Retrieving + printing the protocol (harmless race):\nif (!hidpp->protocol_major) {\nhidpp_root_get_protocol_version()\nhidpp->protocol_major = response.rap.params[0];\n}\nWe can actually see this race hit in the dmesg in the abrt output\nattached to rhbz#2227968:\n[ 3064.624215] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.\n[ 3064.658184] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.\nTesting with extra logging added has shown that after this the 2 threads\ntake turn grabbing the hw access mutex (send_mutex) so they ping-pong\nthrough all the other TOCTOU cases managing to hit all of them:\n2. Updating the name to the HIDPP name (harmless race):\nif (hidpp->name == hdev->name) {\n...\nhidpp->name = new_name;\n}\n3. Initializing the power_supply class for the battery (problematic!):\nhidpp_initialize_battery()\n{\nif (hidpp->battery.ps)\nreturn 0;\nprobe_battery(); /* Blocks, threads take turns executing this */\nhidpp->battery.desc.properties =\ndevm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);\nhidpp->battery.ps =\ndevm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,\n&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);\n}\n4. Creating delayed input_device (potentially problematic):\nif (hidpp->delayed_input)\nreturn;\nhidpp->delayed_input = hidpp_allocate_input(hdev);\nThe really big problem here is 3. Hitting the race leads to the following\nsequence:\nhidpp->battery.desc.properties =\ndevm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);\nhidpp->battery.ps =\ndevm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,\n&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);\n...\nhidpp->battery.desc.properties =\ndevm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);\nhidpp->battery.ps =\ndevm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,\n&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);\nSo now we have registered 2 power supplies for the same battery,\nwhich looks a bit weird from userspace's pov but this is not even\nthe really big problem.\nNotice how:\n1. This is all devm-maganaged\n2. The hidpp->battery.desc struct is shared between the 2 power supplies\n3. hidpp->battery.desc.properties points to the result from the second\ndevm_kmemdup()\nThis causes a use after free scenario on USB disconnect of the receiver:\n1. The last registered power supply class device gets unregistered\n2. The memory from the last devm_kmemdup() call gets freed,\nhidpp->battery.desc.properties now points to freed memory\n3. The first registered power supply class device gets unregistered,\nthis involves sending a remove uevent to userspace which invokes\npower_supply_uevent() to fill the uevent data\n4. power_supply_uevent() uses hidpp->battery.desc.properties which\nnow points to freed memory leading to backtraces like this one:\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffb2140e017f08\n...\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: RIP: 0010:power_supply_uevent+0xee/0x1d0\n...\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: ? power_supply_uevent+0xee/0x1d0\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: ? power_supply_uevent+0x10d/0x1d0\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: dev_uevent+0x10f/0x2d0\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: kobject_uevent_env+0x291/0x680\nSep 22 20:01:35 eric kernel: \n---truncated---", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel.
