For each device, the nosy driver allocates a pcilynx structure.
A use-after-free might happen in the following scenario:
1. Open nosy device for the first time and call ioctl with command
NOSY_IOC_START, then a new client A will be malloced and added to
doubly linked list.
2. Open nosy device for the second time and call ioctl with command
NOSY_IOC_START, then a new client B will be malloced and added to
doubly linked list.
3. Call ioctl with command NOSY_IOC_START for client A, then client A
will be readded to the doubly linked list. Now the doubly linked
list is messed up.
4. Close the first nosy device and nosy_release will be called. In
nosy_release, client A will be unlinked and freed.
5. Close the second nosy device, and client A will be referenced,
resulting in UAF.
The root cause of this bug is that the element in the doubly linked list
is reentered into the list.
Fix this bug by adding a check before inserting a client. If a client
is already in the linked list, don't insert it.
The following KASAN report reveals it:
