CVE-2022-50144
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: revisit driver bind/unbind and callbacks
In the SoundWire probe, we store a pointer from the driver ops into the 'slave' structure. This can lead to kernel oopses when unbinding codec drivers, e.g. with the following sequence to remove machine driver and codec driver.
/sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_sof_sdw /sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_rt711
The full details can be found in the BugLink below, for reference the two following examples show different cases of driver ops/callbacks being invoked after the driver .remove().
This was not detected earlier in Intel tests since the tests first remove the parent PCI device and shut down the bus. The sequence above is a corner case which keeps the bus operational but without a driver bound.

While trying to solve this kernel oopses, it became clear that the existing SoundWire bus does not deal well with the unbind case.
Commit 528be501b7d4a ("soundwire: sdw_slave: add probe_complete structure and new fields") added a 'probed' status variable and a 'probe_complete' struct completion. This status is however not reset on remove and likewise the 'probe complete' is not re-initialized, so the bind/unbind/bind test cases would fail. The timeout used before the 'update_status' callback was also a bad idea in hindsight, there should really be no timing assumption as to if and when a driver is bound to a device.
An initial draft was based on device_lock() and device_unlock() was tested. This proved too complicated, with deadlocks created during the suspend-resume sequences, which also use the same device_lock/unlock() as the bind/unbind sequences. On a CometLake device, a bad DSDT/BIOS caused spurious resumes and the use of device_lock() caused hangs during suspend. After multiple weeks or testing and painful reverse-engineering of deadlocks on different devices, we looked for alternatives that did not interfere with the device core.
A bus notifier was used successfully to keep track of DRIVER_BOUND and DRIVER_UNBIND events. This solved the bind-unbind-bind case in tests, but it can still be defeated with a theoretical corner case where the memory is freed by a .remove while the callback is in use. The notifier only helps make sure the driver callbacks are valid, but not that the memory allocated in probe remains valid while the callbacks are invoked.
This patch suggests the introduction of a new 'sdw_dev_lock' mutex protecting probe/remove and all driver callbacks. Since this mutex is 'local' to SoundWire only, it does not interfere with existing locks and does not create deadlocks. In addition, this patch removes the 'probe_complete' completion, instead we directly invoke the 'update_status' from the probe routine. That removes any sort of timing dependency and a much better support for the device/driver model, the driver could be bound before the bus started, or eons after the bus started and the hardware would be properly initialized in all cases.

La secuencia anterior es un caso excepcional que mantiene el bus operativo, pero sin un controlador vinculado. Al intentar resolver este error del kernel, se hizo evidente que el bus SoundWire existente no gestiona bien el caso de desvinculación. el commit 528be501b7d4a (\"soundwire: sdw_slave: añadir estructura probe_complete y nuevos campos\") añadió una variable de estado \"probed\" y una finalización de estructura \"probe_complete\". Sin embargo, este estado no se restablece al eliminar el dispositivo y, del mismo modo, la prueba \"probe complete\" no se reinicializa, por lo que las pruebas de vinculación/desvinculación/vinculación fallarían. El tiempo de espera utilizado antes de la devolución de llamada \"update_status\" también fue una mala idea en retrospectiva; no debería haber suposiciones sobre el tiempo que determina si un controlador está vinculado a un dispositivo y cuándo. Un borrador inicial se basó en device_lock() y se probó device_unlock(). Esto resultó ser demasiado complicado, con interbloqueos creados durante las secuencias de suspensión-reinicio, que también utilizan el mismo device_lock/unlock() que las secuencias de vinculación/desvinculación. En un dispositivo CometLake, un DSDT/BIOS defectuoso provocó reanudaciones falsas y el uso de device_lock() provocó bloqueos durante la suspensión. Tras varias semanas de pruebas y una ardua ingeniería inversa de interbloqueos en diferentes dispositivos, buscamos alternativas que no interfirieran con el núcleo del dispositivo. Se utilizó con éxito un notificador de bus para realizar un seguimiento de los eventos DRIVER_BOUND y DRIVER_UNBIND. Esto solucionó el problema de enlazar-desenlazar-enlazar en las pruebas, pero aún se puede solucionar con un caso límite teórico donde la memoria se libera mediante un `.remove` mientras se usa la devolución de llamada. El notificador solo ayuda a garantizar que las devoluciones de llamada del controlador sean válidas, pero no que la memoria asignada en la sonda siga siendo válida mientras se invocan las devoluciones de llamada. Este parche sugiere la introducción de un nuevo ---truncado---"
