What to Know

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

Bluetooth: L2CAP: reject accept queue add unless BT_LISTEN

New sk should not be added to parent socket accept queue after last

l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() has run in l2cap_sock_teardown_cb() and

state set to BT_CLOSED, as that can result to UAF on dereferencing the

dangling parent reference.

l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb() may race with parent l2cap_chan teardown,

due to chan->state accessed without consistent locking:

[Task 1] [Task 2]

l2cap_sock_release(parent) l2cap_connect

l2cap_sock_shutdown pchan = l2cap_global_chan_by_psm

l2cap_chan_lock(pchan)

l2cap_chan_close

l2cap_sock_teardown_cb

pchan->state = BT_CLOSED

l2cap_chan_unlock(pchan) ------> l2cap_chan_lock(pchan)

l2cap_new_connection

l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb

l2cap_chan_lock(pchan) <-------- l2cap_chan_unlock(pchan)

l2cap_sock_kill(parent) /* bt_sk(sk)->parent dangling */

Fix by adding check for sk_state == BT_LISTEN after acquiring sk lock in

l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb(). Add lock_sock() around sk_state writes

where missing, to avoid data races.

Although the data races on pchan->state should be fixed too, this

defensive sk_state check probably makes sense in any case. (NVD)
