There are race conditions that may lead to UAF bugs in
ax25_heartbeat_expiry(), ax25_t1timer_expiry(), ax25_t2timer_expiry(),
ax25_t3timer_expiry() and ax25_idletimer_expiry(), when we call
ax25_release() to deallocate ax25_dev.
One of the UAF bugs caused by ax25_release() is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
ax25_dev_device_up() //(1) |
... | ax25_kill_by_device()
ax25_bind() //(2) |
ax25_connect() | ...
ax25_std_establish_data_link() |
ax25_start_t1timer() | ax25_dev_device_down() //(3)
mod_timer(&ax25->t1timer,..) |
| ax25_release()
(wait a time) | ...
| ax25_dev_put(ax25_dev) //(4)FREE
ax25_t1timer_expiry() |
ax25->ax25_dev->values[..] //USE| ...
... |
We increase the refcount of ax25_dev in position (1) and (2), and
decrease the refcount of ax25_dev in position (3) and (4).
The ax25_dev will be freed in position (4) and be used in
ax25_t1timer_expiry().
The fail log is shown below:

This patch adds del_timer_sync() in ax25_release(), which could ensure
that all timers stop before we deallocate ax25_dev.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
