Title
ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix use after free vulnerability in switchtec_ntb_remove due to race condition
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix use after free vulnerability in switchtec_ntb_remove due to race condition
In the switchtec_ntb_add function, it can call switchtec_ntb_init_sndev
function, then &sndev->check_link_status_work is bound with
check_link_status_work. switchtec_ntb_link_notification may be called
to start the work.
If we remove the module which will call switchtec_ntb_remove to make
cleanup, it will free sndev through kfree(sndev), while the work
mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead
to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| check_link_status_work
switchtec_ntb_remove |
kfree(sndev); |
| if (sndev->link_force_down)
| // use sndev
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in switchtec_ntb_remove.

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The freeing side of the race is driver teardown, entered only through local actions \u2014 `rmmod ntb_hw_switchtec`, a write to `/sys/bus/pci/drivers/switchtec/unbind`, or `/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove` \u2014 and the racing side arrives over the PCIe/NTB fabric rather than a network stack. No network or adjacent-network protocol reaches this code, so local system access is the entry point.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides: the NTB peer host (or a local user driving the Switchtec management device) can send `LINK_MESSAGE`/`MSG_LINK_FORCE_DOWN` continuously so `check_link_status_work` is always pending, and `switchtec_ntb_part_op()` then sleeps up to 1000\u00d750 ms inside the object, holding the window open for tens of seconds while teardown is triggered. Bind/unbind can also be repeated indefinitely, so success depends on nothing outside the attacker\u0027s influence.\nPR:L - The side that keeps the work item live requires no privilege \u2014 it is driven by the NTB peer host\u0027s link messages, by PCIe link-state events, or by non-CAP_SYS_ADMIN MRPC commands on `/dev/switchtecN` (the driver explicitly gates only GAS read/write on CAP_SYS_ADMIN) \u2014 while the `kfree()` occurs on any device removal, including surprise PCIe hot-remove and routine administrative unbind. Consistent with the scoring of the equivalent driver remove-path work-item UAFs (e.g. CVE-2024-57984), low local privileges are the defensible assumption.\nUI:N - The removal and the link-message traffic are both initiated by the attacker or generated autonomously by the PCIe hardware; no victim must mount a filesystem, open a file, or take any other action. Exploitation completes entirely from the attacker\u0027s own operations.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap state and is exploited within the same kernel security authority that owns the driver. No hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed by the vulnerability itself.\nC:H - After `kfree(sndev)` the worker reads `link_force_down`, `mmio_ntb`, `mmio_peer_ctrl`, `mmio_peer_dbmsg`, `self_shared_dma`, `peer_direct_mw_to_bar[]` and `stdev-\u003edev` back out of freed memory, and the ~50-second sleep inside `switchtec_ntb_part_op()` makes slab reclaim by an attacker-sprayed object highly practical, converting the dangling object into a controlled kernel read primitive. Per use-after-free scoring guidance this is High.\nI:H - `ntb_link_event()` performs `ntb-\u003ectx_ops-\u003elink_event(ntb-\u003ectx)` \u2014 an indirect branch through a function pointer read from freed memory \u2014 and `config_rsvd_lut_win()` issues `iowrite32`/`iowrite64` to `\u0026ctl-\u003ebar_entry[peer_bar]`/`\u0026ctl-\u003elut_entry[]` with base pointer, index and payload all taken from the freed object, giving both control-flow hijack and a controlled write (including reprogramming of the NTB DMA translation window) after heap spraying.\nA:H - Even without successful exploitation, the worker takes a spinlock in freed memory, dereferences freed `__iomem` pointers and touches the device after teardown, and the concurrent `link_notifier`/`sndev` NULL stores add a NULL-pointer dereference path \u2014 any of which produces a kernel oops or panic."
