CVE-2025-21739

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: ufs: core: Fix use-after free in init error and remove paths

devm_blk_crypto_profile_init() registers a cleanup handler to run when
the associated (platform-) device is being released. For UFS, the
crypto private data and pointers are stored as part of the ufs_hba's
data structure 'struct ufs_hba::crypto_profile'. This structure is
allocated as part of the underlying ufshcd and therefore Scsi_host
allocation.

During driver release or during error handling in ufshcd_pltfrm_init(),
this structure is released as part of ufshcd_dealloc_host() before the
(platform-) device associated with the crypto call above is released.
Once this device is released, the crypto cleanup code will run, using
the just-released 'struct ufs_hba::crypto_profile'. This causes a
use-after-free situation:

  Call trace:
   kfree+0x60/0x2d8 (P)
   kvfree+0x44/0x60
   blk_crypto_profile_destroy_callback+0x28/0x70
   devm_action_release+0x1c/0x30
   release_nodes+0x6c/0x108
   devres_release_all+0x98/0x100
   device_unbind_cleanup+0x20/0x70
   really_probe+0x218/0x2d0

In other words, the initialisation code flow is:

  platform-device probe
    ufshcd_pltfrm_init()
      ufshcd_alloc_host()
        scsi_host_alloc()
          allocation of struct ufs_hba
          creation of scsi-host devices
    devm_blk_crypto_profile_init()
      devm registration of cleanup handler using platform-device

and during error handling of ufshcd_pltfrm_init() or during driver
removal:

  ufshcd_dealloc_host()
    scsi_host_put()
      put_device(scsi-host)
        release of struct ufs_hba
  put_device(platform-device)
    crypto cleanup handler

To fix this use-after free, change ufshcd_alloc_host() to register a
devres action to automatically cleanup the underlying SCSI device on
ufshcd destruction, without requiring explicit calls to
ufshcd_dealloc_host(). This way:

    * the crypto profile and all other ufs_hba-owned resources are
      destroyed before SCSI (as they've been registered after)
    * a memleak is plugged in tc-dwc-g210-pci.c remove() as a
      side-effect
    * EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ufshcd_dealloc_host) can be removed fully as
      it's not needed anymore
    * no future drivers using ufshcd_alloc_host() could ever forget
      adding the cleanup

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
