This is the candidate patch of CVE-2023-47233 :
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-47233

In brcm80211 driver,it starts with the following invoking chain
to start init a timeout worker:

->brcmf_usb_probe
  ->brcmf_usb_probe_cb
    ->brcmf_attach
      ->brcmf_bus_started
        ->brcmf_cfg80211_attach
          ->wl_init_priv
            ->brcmf_init_escan
              ->INIT_WORK(&cfg->escan_timeout_work,
		  brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker);

If we disconnect the USB by hotplug, it will call
brcmf_usb_disconnect to make cleanup. The invoking chain is :

brcmf_usb_disconnect
  ->brcmf_usb_disconnect_cb
    ->brcmf_detach
      ->brcmf_cfg80211_detach
        ->kfree(cfg);

While the timeout woker may still be running. This will cause
a use-after-free bug on cfg in brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker.

Fix it by deleting the timer and canceling the worker in
brcmf_cfg80211_detach.

Has anyone tested this on a real device? As v1 didn't even compile I am
very cautious:

Thanks! I didn't test it for I don't have a device. Very appreciated
if anyone could help with that.

I would volunteer, but it made me dig deep and not sure if there is a 
problem to solve here.

brcmf_cfg80211_detach() calls wl_deinit_priv() -> brcmf_abort_scanning() -> 
brcmf_notify_escan_complete() which does delete the timer.

What am I missing here?

Arend

Thanks four your detailed review. I did see the code and not sure if
brcmf_notify_escan_complete
would be triggered for sure. So in the first version I want to delete
the pending timer ahead of time.
As I'm not very familiar with the logic here. I'm still not sure if we
should delete the timer_shutdown_sync.
Looking forward to your reply :)

```cpp
if (cfg->int_escan_map || cfg->scan_request) {
    escan->escan_state = WL_ESCAN_STATE_IDLE;
    brcmf_notify_escan_complete(cfg, escan->ifp, true, true);
  }
```

Best regards,
Zheng

Why requesting a CVE when you are not sure? Seems a bit hasty to put it 
mildly.

> Looking forward to your reply :)

Reading the kerneldoc of timer_shutdown_sync() has the advantage that 
the timer can not be rearmed by another thread. However, that will only 
happen when a new scan is initiated in firmware, but the bus is already 
down so that can not happen. The only improvement (no bug fix!) I see 
here is to replace timer handling code in brcmf_notify_escan_complete():

-	if (timer_pending(&cfg->escan_timeout))
-		del_timer_sync(&cfg->escan_timeout);
+	timer_delete_sync(&cfg->escan_timeout);

Arend

TBH I don't take CVE entries seriously anymore. I don't know what has
happened there.

I'm sure the issue exists because there's only cancler of timer but not woker.
As there's similar CVEs before like : https://github.com/V4bel/CVE-2022-41218,
I submit it as soon as I found it.

Very thanks for your reviews and suggestions! I thinks it's a good
idea. I'll make
another patch sooner or later.

Ah, yes. The cancel_work_sync() can also be done in 
brcmf_notify_escan_complete().

AFAIUC, brcmf_notify_scan_complete() is called from the work itself,
too, hence you can't issue cancel_work_sync() there (unless you make
it conditional).

Hi Takashi,

You are obviously right. Let's wait and see what v6 will look like ;-)

Yes, that makes this issue hard to fix. I was wondering why it binds the
worker with the timer rather than using just one of them.

No top posting please!

The timer context is softirq and worker is thread context. The ability to 
sleep is the big difference between the two or at least the reason for 
using them here.
