In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: chemical: atlas-sensor: use iio_trigger_poll_nested() to fix remove UAF
The atlas driver requests its hardware data-ready IRQ with
devm_request_threaded_irq(); its threaded handler queues an irq_work,
atlas_work_handler(), that calls iio_trigger_poll(data->trig).
The IRQ is devm-managed, so free_irq() runs from the devres unwind after
atlas_remove() returns without flushing that irq_work. Once a buffer is
enabled, conversion-complete IRQs keep firing and queueing it; a pending
irq_work can therefore run after the unwind has freed atlas_data/indio_dev
and the trigger, when atlas_work_handler() derives the atlas_data pointer
via container_of() and dereferences data->trig, a use-after-free.
Call iio_trigger_poll_nested() directly from the threaded handler instead
of bouncing through irq_work. free_irq() then drains the threaded handler,
closing the window; other iio drivers with a threaded data-ready IRQ do the
same (e.g. bmi270).
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
