[PATCH V5 06/14] i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_uevent()

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

> i3c_device_uevent() dereferences i3cdev->desc without holding the bus
> normal-use lock.  Since the descriptor pointer can be replaced
> concurrently, including when a uevent is generated from sysfs, this can
> result in dereferencing a stale descriptor and lead to a use-after-free.
> 
> Use i3c_device_get_info() instead, which protects access to the
> descriptor with the normal-use lock.
> 
> Commit 6cf7b65f7029 ("i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling
> i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock") replaced the accessor with a
> direct descriptor dereference because i3c_device_get_info() would
> recursively acquire bus->lock during device registration.
> 
> This change depends on "i3c: master: Fix recursive locking during device
> registration", which moves device registration out from under bus->lock
> and removes the possibility of that deadlock.  Without that change,
> restoring the i3c_device_get_info() call would reintroduce the deadlock.
> 
> Fixes: 6cf7b65f7029 ("i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock")
> Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org # requires "i3c: master: Fix recursive locking during device registration"
