From b4ebf4a4692e84163a69444c70ad515de06e2259 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zou Wei Date: Tue, 11 May 2021 15:01:35 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: Fix possible use-after-free in wdt_startup() [ Upstream commit c08a6b31e4917034f0ed0cb457c3bb209576f542 ] This module's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.
