7.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Danish Khateeb commit 4e8063cae337cb7328e6856235cf4de5d165516e upstream. A file that was opened before pps_gen_unregister_source() keeps pps_gen, and with it the pointer to the driver's pps_gen_source_info. PPS_GEN_SETENABLE and PPS_GEN_USESYSTEMCLOCK keep using that pointer after the driver has gone: - pps_gen_tio allocates its info with devm_kzalloc(), so after an unbind both ioctls read freed memory, and SETENABLE calls the driver's enable() with its freed private data. - pps_gen-dummy does not set info->owner, so it can be unloaded while the file is open, and the ioctls then read the unloaded module's data and call its code. TIO can't probe in a VM, as it needs ART. A test driver that registers its info in devm memory like TIO does, unbound while /dev/pps-gen0 is open, gives: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in pps_gen_cdev_ioctl+0x4c1/0x580 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88800e647f38 by task ppsgen64/145 ...

PPS_KC_BIND does the same for a removed PPS device since commit 3649f9a6b897 ("pps: don't allow PPS_KC_BIND on removed devices"). The sysfs attributes need nothing new: they are removed, and their callbacks drained, before info is cleared.
