In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: hsq: Fix use-after-free in retry work
mmc_hsq_pump_requests() queues retry_work when request_atomic() returns
-EBUSY; today sdhci-sprd is the only consumer that implements
request_atomic(). The work is embedded in a devm-allocated mmc_hsq, but
is never cancelled during driver removal. Work still pending at unbind
can therefore run after the devm allocation has been released and
dereference hsq->mmc and hsq->mrq.
Use devm_work_autocancel() to cancel and drain retry_work before the devm
allocation is released. By the time devres cleanup begins,
mmc_remove_host() has already stopped the host, so no new requests can
arm the work.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
