HID: roccat: Fix use-after-free in roccat_read()

[ Upstream commit cacdb14b

 ]

roccat_report_event() is responsible for registering
roccat-related reports in struct roccat_device.

int roccat_report_event(int minor, u8 const *data)
{
	struct roccat_device *device;
	struct roccat_reader *reader;
	struct roccat_report *report;
	uint8_t *new_value;

	device = devices[minor];

	new_value = kmemdup(data, device->report_size, GFP_ATOMIC);
	if (!new_value)
		return -ENOMEM;

	report = &device->cbuf[device->cbuf_end];

	/* passing NULL is safe */
	kfree(report->value);
	...

The registered report is stored in the struct roccat_device member
"struct roccat_report cbuf[ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE];".
If more reports are received than the "ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE" value,
kfree() the saved report from cbuf[0] and allocates a new reprot.
Since there is no lock when this kfree() is performed,
kfree() can be performed even while reading the saved report.

static ssize_t roccat_read(struct file *file, char __user *buffer,
		size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
	struct roccat_reader *reader = file->private_data;
	struct roccat_device *device = reader->device;
	struct roccat_report *report;
	ssize_t retval = 0, len;
	DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current);

	mutex_lock(&device->cbuf_lock);

	...

	report = &device->cbuf[reader->cbuf_start];
	/*
	 * If report is larger than requested amount of data, rest of report
	 * is lost!
	 */
	len = device->report_size > count ? count : device->report_size;

	if (copy_to_user(buffer, report->value, len)) {
		retval = -EFAULT;
		goto exit_unlock;
	}
	...

The roccat_read() function receives the device->cbuf report and
delivers it to the user through copy_to_user().
If the N+ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE th report is received while copying of
the Nth report->value is in progress, the pointer that copy_to_user()
is working on is kfree()ed and UAF read may occur. (race condition)

Since the device node of this driver does not set separate permissions,
this is not a security vulnerability, but because it is used for
requesting screen display of profile or dpi settings,
a user using the roccat device can apply udev to this device node or
There is a possibility to use it by giving.
