Subject: [PATCH v3] usbip: vudc: Fix use after free bug in vudc_remove due to race condition

In vudc_probe, it calls init_vudc_hw, which bound &udc->timer with v_timer.

When it calls usbip_sockfd_store, it will call v_start_timer to start the
timer work.

When we call vudc_remove to remove the driver, theremay be a sequence as
follows:

Fix it by shutdown the timer work before cleanup in vudc_remove.

Note that removing a driver is a root-only operation, and should never
happen. But the attacker can directly unplug the usb to trigger the remove
function.

CPU0 CPU1

|v_timer
vudc_remove |
kfree(udc); |
//free shost |
|udc->gadget
|//use

The udc might be removed before v_timer finished, and UAF happens.

This bug was found by Codeql static analysis and might by false positive.

v3:
- fix the issue by adding del_timer_sync in v_stop_timer and
invoke it in vudc_remove

v2:
- add more details about how the bug was found suggested by Shuah

This statement that this could be a false positive makes me hesitate
taking this patch.

What kind of testing have you done with this fix? Were you able to test
the scenario of unplugging usb?

Sorry I did't make a full test for I did't have the device. The
attacking scenario if based on other cases.

Friendly ping about the issue.
Sorry that I couldn't make test about the driver.

Thanks,

Sorry. I really need for you test this and provide information on how
it was tested.
