Title
wifi: brcmfmac: drain bus_reset work on device removal
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: brcmfmac: drain bus_reset work on device removal brcmf_fw_crashed() and the debugfs "reset" entry both schedule drvr->bus_reset, whose callback recovers drvr through container_of() and dereferences it. The removal path frees drvr (brcmf_free -> wiphy_free) without draining the work, so a bus_reset callback pending or running during removal can outlive drvr. Cancellation cannot live in brcmf_detach() or brcmf_free(): the work callback reaches teardown through the bus .reset op (PCIe brcmf_pcie_reset -> brcmf_detach; SDIO brcmf_sdio_bus_reset -> brcmf_sdiod_remove -> brcmf_free), so cancelling there would wait for the running work and deadlock. Add a per-bus mutex (bus_reset_lock) and route all arming through brcmf_bus_schedule_reset(), which under the lock skips when the bus is marked removing. Each bus remove entry calls brcmf_bus_cancel_reset_work(), which under the same lock sets removing and cancels the work. Holding the mutex across cancel_work_sync() makes the set-removing + drain step atomic. Every producer reaches the arming path from process context -- the PCIe firmware-halt notification runs in the threaded IRQ handler (brcmf_pcie_isr_thread) and the SDIO hostmail path runs from the data workqueue -- so the mutex is taken only in sleepable contexts. Where applicable the remove entry first stops the firmware-crash producer: on PCIe mask the mailbox and synchronize_irq; on SDIO unregister the bus interrupt and cancel the data worker, which also reports firmware halts through brcmf_fw_crashed(). The mutex is initialized at bus allocation. The SDIO suspend power-off path frees drvr through the same brcmf_sdiod_remove() and takes the same lock; resume re-allows the work only on a successful re-probe. Also guard brcmf_fw_crashed() against a NULL bus_if/drvr: it can fire before brcmf_attach() wires up drvr, and it dereferences drvr (bphy_err/brcmf_dev_coredump) before reaching the arming gate. The bus_reset work is shared across buses, so the drain is applied to every remove path: PCIe (the .reset op introduced by the Fixes commit), SDIO (arms the same work through brcmf_fw_crashed()), and USB (via the debugfs "reset" entry). cancel_work_sync() drains a running or pending bus_reset work item before removal frees drvr, and patch 1/2 makes the scratch-buffer release safe when reset teardown has already released those DMA buffers. This patch fixes the lifetime of the bus_reset work item itself. It does not attempt to address the separate, pre-existing lifetime of the asynchronous firmware completion started by the PCIe reset path. That callback needs its own lifetime/ownership protocol and is being tracked separately. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

              "value": "AV:A - bus_reset is armed by brcmf_fw_crashed() when Broadcom fullmac signals FWHALT (PCIe mailbox ISR thread / SDIO hostmail). An adjacent 802.11 attacker can induce that halt with malformed frames; the pending work then races device removal (USB hot-unplug, SDIO suspend power-off) that frees drvr without draining the work.\nAC:L - The attacker repeatedly induces firmware halts to schedule bus_reset and can align removal (USB unplug on shared dongles/kiosks, or SDIO suspend) so the work runs after wiphy_free; both sides are attacker-influenced and freely retryable, so success does not depend on uncontrollable timing.\nPR:N - FWHALT delivery and brcmf_fw_crashed() need no host credentials; concurrent free via USB disconnect or automatic SDIO power-cut suspend likewise requires no account or capability. The debugfs reset path is root-only but is not the highest-severity reachability.\nUI:N - Firmware-halt recovery and device removal/suspend paths run in kernel workqueues and bus callbacks without the victim opening a file, mounting media, or otherwise interacting.\nS:U - The UAF corrupts host-kernel heap (struct brcmf_pub embedded in the wiphy) within the same kernel security authority; it is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - Use-after-free of drvr via container_of on the freed bus_reset work_struct lets an attacker reallocate the wiphy/drvr slab and observe attacker-controlled object contents through subsequent driver dereferences, yielding an arbitrary kernel read primitive.\nI:H - The recycled work_struct/drvr is dispatched by the workqueue (func pointer / bus_if ops), enabling heap corruption and control-flow hijack when brcmf_core_bus_reset runs on attacker-shaped memory after brcmf_free/wiphy_free.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, running bus_reset after wiphy_free dereferences freed drvr/bus_if state and reliably causes kernel oops/panic or driver teardown failure, denying availability of the host."

            "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: brcmfmac: drain bus_reset work on device removal\n\nbrcmf_fw_crashed() and the debugfs \"reset\" entry both schedule\ndrvr-\u003ebus_reset, whose callback recovers drvr through container_of()\nand dereferences it.  The removal path frees drvr (brcmf_free -\u003e\nwiphy_free) without draining the work, so a bus_reset callback pending\nor running during removal can outlive drvr.\n\nCancellation cannot live in brcmf_detach() or brcmf_free(): the work\ncallback reaches teardown through the bus .reset op (PCIe\nbrcmf_pcie_reset -\u003e brcmf_detach; SDIO brcmf_sdio_bus_reset -\u003e\nbrcmf_sdiod_remove -\u003e brcmf_free), so cancelling there would wait for\nthe running work and deadlock.\n\nAdd a per-bus mutex (bus_reset_lock) and route all arming through\nbrcmf_bus_schedule_reset(), which under the lock skips when the bus is\nmarked removing.  Each bus remove entry calls\nbrcmf_bus_cancel_reset_work(), which under the same lock sets removing\nand cancels the work.  Holding the mutex across cancel_work_sync() makes\nthe set-removing + drain step atomic.  Every producer reaches the arming\npath from process context -- the PCIe firmware-halt notification runs in\nthe threaded IRQ handler (brcmf_pcie_isr_thread) and the SDIO hostmail\npath runs from the data workqueue -- so the mutex is taken only in\nsleepable contexts.  Where applicable the remove entry first stops the\nfirmware-crash producer: on PCIe mask the mailbox and synchronize_irq;\non SDIO unregister the bus interrupt and cancel the data worker, which\nalso reports firmware halts through brcmf_fw_crashed().  The mutex is\ninitialized at bus allocation.  The SDIO suspend power-off path frees\ndrvr through the same brcmf_sdiod_remove() and takes the same lock;\nresume re-allows the work only on a successful re-probe.\n\nAlso guard brcmf_fw_crashed() against a NULL bus_if/drvr: it can fire\nbefore brcmf_attach() wires up drvr, and it dereferences drvr\n(bphy_err/brcmf_dev_coredump) before reaching the arming gate.\n\nThe bus_reset work is shared across buses, so the drain is applied to\nevery remove path: PCIe (the .reset op introduced by the Fixes commit),\nSDIO (arms the same work through brcmf_fw_crashed()), and USB (via the\ndebugfs \"reset\" entry).  cancel_work_sync() drains a running or pending\nbus_reset work item before removal frees drvr, and patch 1/2 makes the\nscratch-buffer release safe when reset teardown has already released\nthose DMA buffers.\n\nThis patch fixes the lifetime of the bus_reset work item itself.  It does\nnot attempt to address the separate, pre-existing lifetime of the\nasynchronous firmware completion started by the PCIe reset path.  That\ncallback needs its own lifetime/ownership protocol and is being tracked\nseparately.\n\nThis issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool."
