      <title>CVE-2022-49968 — ieee802154/adf7242: defer destroy_workqueue call</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2022-49968</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ieee802154/adf7242: defer destroy_workqueue call&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a possible race condition (use-after-free) like below&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(FREE)                     |  (USE)
  adf7242_remove             |  adf7242_channel
   cancel_delayed_work_sync  |
    destroy_workqueue (1)    |   adf7242_cmd_rx
                             |    mod_delayed_work (2)
                             |&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The root cause for this race is that the upper layer (ieee802154) is
unaware of this detaching event and the function adf7242_channel can
be called without any checks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To fix this, we can add a flag write at the beginning of adf7242_remove
and add flag check in adf7242_channel. Or we can just defer the
destructive operation like other commit 3e0588c291d6 (&amp;#34;hamradio: defer
ax25 kfree after unregister_netdev&amp;#34;) which let the
ieee802154_unregister_hw() to handle the synchronization. This patch
takes the second option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;runs&amp;#34;)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
