[net,v2] net: ethernet: fix use after free bug in ns83820_remove_one due to race condition

  In ns83820_init_one, dev->tq_refill was bound with queue_refill.

If irq happens, it will call ns83820_irq->ns83820_do_isr.
Then it invokes tasklet_schedule(&dev->rx_tasklet) to start
rx_action function. And rx_action will call ns83820_rx_kick
and finally start queue_refill function.

If we remove the driver without finishing the work, there
may be a race condition between ndev, which may cause UAF
bug.

Will you not have the same issue if you remove the driver after you
schedule rx_tasklet? Because rx_action will use also ndev.

Hello Horatiu,

Thanks for your reply. In ns83820_remove_one, there is an invoking:

free_irq(dev->pci_dev->irq, ndev);

This will prevent the driver from handling more irq, But it couldn't prevent
the rx_tasklet from being scheduled. So I think we should add the
following code:

tasklet_kill(&dev->rx_tasklet);

after free_irq invoking. Is there anything wrong about my analysis?

Thanks again for pointing the mistake out.

Best regards,
Zheng

I think you are right, I don't see a problem.
