Subject: Bluetooth: fix UAF in bt_accept_dequeue()
X-Git-Tag: v7.2-rc3~29^2~13^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4bd0b274054f2679f28b70222b607bb0afc3ab9a;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

Bluetooth: fix UAF in bt_accept_dequeue()

bt_accept_get() takes a temporary reference before dropping the accept
queue lock. bt_accept_dequeue() currently drops that reference before
bt_accept_unlink(), leaving only the queue reference.

bt_accept_unlink() drops the queue reference. The subsequent
sock_hold() therefore accesses freed memory if it was the final
reference, as observed by KASAN during listening L2CAP socket cleanup.

Retain the temporary queue-walk reference through unlink and hand it to
the caller on success. Drop it explicitly on the closed and
not-yet-connected paths.

Fixes: ab1513597c6c ("Bluetooth: fix UAF in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() vs l2cap_conn_del()")
