Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: cpu5wdt.c: Fix use-after-free bug caused by cpu5wdt_trigger
Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2024 22:04:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240324140444.119584-1-duoming@zju.edu.cn> (raw)

When the cpu5wdt module is removing, the origin code uses del_timer() to
de-activate the timer. If the timer handler is running, del_timer() could
not stop it and will return directly. If the port region is released by
release_region() and then the timer handler cpu5wdt_trigger() calls outb()
to write into the region that is released, the use-after-free bug will
happen.

Change del_timer() to timer_shutdown_sync() in order that the timer handler
could be finished before the port region is released.

Fixes: e09d9c3e9f85 ("watchdog: cpu5wdt.c: add missing del_timer call")
