Subject: CVE-2023-52478: HID: logitech-hidpp: Fix kernel crash on receiver USB disconnect
From: gregkh@...nel.org
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: logitech-hidpp: Fix kernel crash on receiver USB disconnect
hidpp_connect_event() has *four* time-of-check vs time-of-use (TOCTOU)
races when it races with itself.
hidpp_connect_event() primarily runs from a workqueue but it also runs
on probe() and if a "device-connected" packet is received by the hw
when the thread running hidpp_connect_event() from probe() is waiting on
the hw, then a second thread running hidpp_connect_event() will be
started from the workqueue.
This opens the following races (note the below code is simplified):
1. Retrieving + printing the protocol (harmless race):
if (!hidpp->protocol_major) {
hidpp_root_get_protocol_version()
hidpp->protocol_major = response.rap.params[0];
}
We can actually see this race hit in the dmesg in the abrt output
attached to rhbz#2227968:
[ 3064.624215] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.
[ 3064.658184] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.
Testing with extra logging added has shown that after this the 2 threads
take turn grabbing the hw access mutex (send_mutex) so they ping-pong
through all the other TOCTOU cases managing to hit all of them:
2. Updating the name to the HIDPP name (harmless race):
if (hidpp->name == hdev->name) {
...
hidpp->name = new_name;
}
3. Initializing the power_supply class for the battery (problematic!):
hidpp_initialize_battery()
{
if (hidpp->battery.ps)
return 0;
probe_battery(); /* Blocks, threads take turns executing this */
hidpp->battery.desc.properties =
devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps =
devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,
&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
}
4. Creating delayed input_device (potentially problematic):
if (hidpp->delayed_input)
return;
hidpp->delayed_input = hidpp_allocate_input(hdev);
The really big problem here is 3. Hitting the race leads to the following
sequence:
hidpp->battery.desc.properties =
devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps =
devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,
&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
...
hidpp->battery.desc.properties =
devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps =
devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,
&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
So now we have registered 2 power supplies for the same battery,
which looks a bit weird from userspace's pov but this is not even
the really big problem.
Notice how:
1. This is all devm-maganaged
2. The hidpp->battery.desc struct is shared between the 2 power supplies
3. hidpp->battery.desc.properties points to the result from the second
devm_kmemdup()
This causes a use after free scenario on USB disconnect of the receiver:
1. The last registered power supply class device gets unregistered
2. The memory from the last devm_kmemdup() call gets freed,
hidpp->battery.desc.properties now points to freed memory
3. The first registered power supply class device gets unregistered,
this involves sending a remove uevent to userspace which invokes
power_supply_uevent() to fill the uevent data
4. power_supply_uevent() uses hidpp->battery.desc.properties which
now points to freed memory leading to backtraces like this one:

There have been quite a few bug reports (see Link tags) about this crash.
Fix all the TOCTOU issues, including the really bad power-supply related
system crash on USB disconnect, by making probe() use the workqueue for
running hidpp_connect_event() too, so that it can never run more then once.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52478 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
