From 9cb636b5f6a8cc6d1b50809ec8f8d33ae0c84c95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hyunwoo Kim imv4bel@gmail.com Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2022 09:07:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] efi: capsule-loader: Fix use-after-free in efi_capsule_write
A race condition may occur if the user calls close() on another thread during a write() operation on the device node of the efi capsule.
This is a race condition that occurs between the efi_capsule_write() and efi_capsule_flush() functions of efi_capsule_fops, which ultimately results in UAF.
So, the page freeing process is modified to be done in efi_capsule_release() instead of efi_capsule_flush().
