This is the candidate patch of CVE-2023-47233 :
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-47233

In brcm80211 driver,it starts with the following invoking chain
to start init a timeout worker:

->brcmf_usb_probe
  ->brcmf_usb_probe_cb
    ->brcmf_attach
      ->brcmf_bus_started
        ->brcmf_cfg80211_attach
          ->wl_init_priv
            ->brcmf_init_escan
              ->INIT_WORK(&cfg->escan_timeout_work,
		  brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker);

If we disconnect the USB by hotplug, it will call
brcmf_usb_disconnect to make cleanup. The invoking chain is :

brcmf_usb_disconnect
  ->brcmf_usb_disconnect_cb
    ->brcmf_detach
      ->brcmf_cfg80211_detach
        ->kfree(cfg);

While the timeout woker may still be running. This will cause
a use-after-free bug on cfg in brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker.

Fix it by deleting the timer and canceling the worker in
brcmf_cfg80211_detach.

Thanks four your detailed review. I did see the code and not sure if
brcmf_notify_escan_complete
would be triggered for sure. So in the first version I want to delete
the pending timer ahead of time.
As I'm not very familiar with the logic here. I'm still not sure if we
should delete the timer_shutdown_sync.
Looking forward to your reply :)

```cpp
if (cfg->int_escan_map || cfg->scan_request) {
    escan->escan_state = WL_ESCAN_STATE_IDLE;
    brcmf_notify_escan_complete(cfg, escan->ifp, true, true);
  }
```

Best regards,
Zheng

Why requesting a CVE when you are not sure? Seems a bit hasty to put it 
mildly.

> Looking forward to your reply :)

Reading the kerneldoc of timer_shutdown_sync() has the advantage that 
the timer can not be rearmed by another thread. However, that will only 
happen when a new scan is initiated in firmware, but the bus is already 
down so that can not happen. The only improvement (no bug fix!) I see 
here is to replace timer handling code in brcmf_notify_escan_complete():

-	if (timer_pending(&cfg->escan_timeout))
-		del_timer_sync(&cfg->escan_timeout);
+	timer_delete_sync(&cfg->escan_timeout);

Arend

TBH I don't take CVE entries seriously anymore. I don't know what has
happened there.

I'm sure the issue exists because there's only cancler of timer but not woker.
As there's similar CVEs before like : https://github.com/V4bel/CVE-2022-41218,
I submit it as soon as I found it.

Very thanks for your reviews and suggestions! I thinks it's a good
idea. I'll make
another patch sooner or later.

AFAIUC, brcmf_notify_scan_complete() is called from the work itself,
too, hence you can't issue cancel_work_sync() there (unless you make
it conditional).

Has there been any progress on this please?

Are we expecting a v6 to this?
