    nfc: llcp_core: Hold a ref to llcp_local->dev when holding a ref to llcp_local · c95f9195
    Siddh Raman Pant authored
    llcp_sock_sendmsg() calls nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() which in turn calls
    nfc_alloc_send_skb(), which accesses the nfc_dev from the llcp_sock for
    getting the headroom and tailroom needed for skb allocation.
    
    Parallelly the nfc_dev can be freed, as the refcount is decreased via
    nfc_free_device(), leading to a UAF reported by Syzkaller, which can
    be summarized as follows:
    
    (1) llcp_sock_sendmsg() -> nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame()
    	-> nfc_alloc_send_skb() -> Dereference *nfc_dev
    (2) virtual_ncidev_close() -> nci_free_device() -> nfc_free_device()
    	-> put_device() -> nfc_release() -> Free *nfc_dev
    
    When a reference to llcp_local is acquired, we do not acquire the same
    for the nfc_dev. This leads to freeing even when the llcp_local is in
    use, and this is the case with the UAF described above too.
    
    Thus, when we acquire a reference to llcp_local, we should acquire a
    reference to nfc_dev, and release the references appropriately later.
    
    References for llcp_local is initialized in nfc_llcp_register_device()
    (which is called by nfc_register_device()). Thus, we should acquire a
    reference to nfc_dev there.
    
    nfc_unregister_device() calls nfc_llcp_unregister_device() which in
    turn calls nfc_llcp_local_put(). Thus, the reference to nfc_dev is
    appropriately released later.
