The driver_override_show function reads the driver_override string without holding the device_lock. However, the store function modifies and frees the string while holding the device_lock. This creates a race condition where the string can be freed by the store function while being read by the show function, leading to a use-after-free.
To fix this, replace the rpmsg_string_attr macro with explicit show and store functions. The new driver_override_store uses the standard driver_set_override helper. Since the introduction of driver_set_override, the comments in include/linux/rpmsg.h have stated that this helper must be used to set or clear driver_override, but the implementation was not updated until now.
Because driver_set_override modifies and frees the string while holding the device_lock, the new driver_override_show now correctly holds the device_lock during the read operation to prevent the race.
Additionally, since rpmsg_string_attr has only ever been used for driver_override, removing the macro simplifies the code.
Fixes: 39e47767ec9b ("rpmsg: Add driver_override device attribute for rpmsg_device") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Gui-Dong Han hanguidong02@gmail.com --- I verified this with a stress test that continuously writes/reads the attribute. It triggered KASAN and leaked bytes like a0 f4 81 9f a3 ff ff (likely kernel pointers). Since driver_override is world-readable (0644), this allows unprivileged users to leak kernel pointers and bypass KASLR. Similar races were fixed in other buses (e.g., commits 9561475db680 and 91d44c1afc61). Currently, 9 of 11 buses handle this correctly; this patch fixes one of the remaining two. --- drivers/rpmsg/rpmsg_core.c | 66 ++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-)
