From 90b7c141132244e8e49a34a4c1e445cce33e07f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zou Wei Date: Tue, 11 May 2021 15:04:51 +0800 Subject: watchdog: sc520_wdt: Fix possible use-after-free in wdt_turnoff() This module's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.
