    tee: amdtee: fix use-after-free vulnerability in amdtee_close_session · f4384b3e
    Rijo Thomas authored
    There is a potential race condition in amdtee_close_session that may
    cause use-after-free in amdtee_open_session. For instance, if a session
    has refcount == 1, and one thread tries to free this session via:
    
        kref_put(&sess->refcount, destroy_session);
    
    the reference count will get decremented, and the next step would be to
    call destroy_session(). However, if in another thread,
    amdtee_open_session() is called before destroy_session() has completed
    execution, alloc_session() may return 'sess' that will be freed up
    later in destroy_session() leading to use-after-free in
    amdtee_open_session.
    
    To fix this issue, treat decrement of sess->refcount and removal of
    'sess' from session list in destroy_session() as a critical section, so
    that it is executed atomically.
