CVE-2026-89625

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

HID: sony: fix UAF of ghl_poke_timer / ghl_urb at driver unbind

For GHL (Guitar Hero Live) dongles, sony_probe() arms a periodic timer:
ghl_magic_poke() (the timer callback) submits sc->ghl_urb, and the URB
completion ghl_magic_poke_cb() re-arms the timer with mod_timer().

sony_remove() drained the timer with timer_delete_sync() and then freed
the URB with usb_free_urb():

	timer_delete_sync(&sc->ghl_poke_timer);
	usb_free_urb(sc->ghl_urb);

timer_delete_sync() does not block re-arming, and while the URB is in
flight the timer is not pending, so the sync delete is a no-op. A URB
completion that runs after the delete re-arms the timer, and usb_free_urb()
only drops a reference -- it does not kill an in-flight URB. sc is
allocated with devm_kzalloc() and freed once sony_remove() returns, so the
re-armed ghl_poke_timer (embedded in sc) then fires on freed memory, a
use-after-free from timer softirq. This is a disconnect/rmmod race.

Poison the URB first, then shut the timer down, before freeing the URB.
usb_poison_urb() kills any in-flight URB and permanently rejects further
submissions, so a poke timer that is still pending cannot re-submit the
URB from ghl_magic_poke() in the window before timer_shutdown_sync() runs.
usb_kill_urb() would not suffice: it only cancels the in-flight URB and
leaves it submittable once it returns, so the pending timer could
re-submit it and put a fresh URB in flight over the freed sc.
timer_shutdown_sync() then drains any last callback and blocks re-arming.
The probe error path is unaffected: it is only reached before the timer
is armed.

Reproduced under KASAN on next-20260710 via dummy_hcd + raw-gadget
emulation of the GHL PS4 dongle (VID 0x1430 / PID 0x07bb): hid-sony binds
and arms the poke timer, the poke URB is held in flight, the driver is
unbound (freeing sc), then the URB is released. The completion re-arms the
timer on the freed sc, and the re-armed timer fires ~8 s later:
