What to Know

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

Bluetooth: mgmt: fix UAF in pair command cancellation

The pairing completion and authentication failure callbacks look up the

pending MGMT_OP_PAIR_DEVICE command by walking hdev->mgmt_pending. The

lookup returned a command that was still linked on the shared pending list,

without keeping mgmt_pending_lock held for the later dereference and

removal.

A concurrent MGMT_OP_CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE request can remove and free the

same pending command before the callback uses it. The reverse race is also

possible when cancel_pair_device() gets a command from pending_find() and a

callback removes it before the cancel path dereferences it. This can lead

to a use-after-free and a second list_del().

Make the pairing lookup helpers transfer ownership of the pending command

by removing it from hdev->mgmt_pending while holding mgmt_pending_lock.

The callbacks and cancel path then complete the command and free it

directly, so racing paths cannot find or free the same command again. Take

a temporary hci_conn reference in cancel_pair_device() because the command

completion drops the reference stored in the pending command. (NVD)
