The iMON driver improperly releases the usb_device reference in
imon_disconnect without coordinating with active users of the
device.
Specifically, the fields usbdev_intf0 and usbdev_intf1 are not
protected by the users counter (ictx->users). During probe,
imon_init_intf0 or imon_init_intf1 increments the usb_device
reference count depending on the interface. However, during
disconnect, usb_put_dev is called unconditionally, regardless of
actual usage.
As a result, if vfd_write or other operations are still in
progress after disconnect, this can lead to a use-after-free of
the usb_device pointer.
Thread 1 vfd_write Thread 2 imon_disconnect

if
usb_put_dev(ictx->usbdev_intf0)
else
usb_put_dev(ictx->usbdev_intf1)
...
while
send_packet
if
pipe = usb_sndintpipe(
ictx->usbdev_intf0) UAF
else
pipe = usb_sndctrlpipe(
ictx->usbdev_intf0, 0) UAF
Guard access to usbdev_intf0 and usbdev_intf1 after disconnect by
checking ictx->disconnected in all writer paths. Add early return
with -ENODEV in send_packet(), vfd_write(), lcd_write() and
display_open() if the device is no longer present.
Set and read ictx->disconnected under ictx->lock to ensure memory
synchronization. Acquire the lock in imon_disconnect() before setting
the flag to synchronize with any ongoing operations.
Ensure writers exit early and safely after disconnect before the USB
core proceeds with cleanup.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
