Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: wilc1000: prevent use-after-free on vif when cleaning up all interfaces

wilcnetdevcleanup currently triggers a KASAN warning, which can be observed on interface registration error path, or simply by removing the module/unbinding device from driver:

echo spi0.1 > /sys/bus/spi/drivers/wilc1000_spi/unbind

David Mosberger-Tan initial investigation [1] showed that this use-after-free is due to netdevice unregistration during vif list traversal. When unregistering a net device, since the needsfreenetdev has been set to true during registration, the netdevice object is also freed, and as a consequence, the corresponding vif object too, since it is attached to it as private netdevice data. The next occurrence of the loop then tries to access freed vif pointer to the list to move forward in the list.

Fix this use-after-free thanks to two mechanisms: - navigate in the list with listforeachentrysafe, which allows to safely modify the list as we go through each element. For each element, remove it from the list with listdelrcu - make sure to wait for RCU grace period end after each vif removal to make sure it is safe to free the corresponding vif too (through unregister_netdev)

Since we are in a RCU "modifier" path (not a "reader" path), and because such path is expected not to be concurrent to any other modifier (we are using the vifmutex lock), we do not need to use RCU list API, that's why we can benefit from listforeachentry_safe.
