Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 3/5] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix slab-use-after-free in l2cap_connect()
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 19:55:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715235519.525147-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715235519.525147-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Sungwoo Kim <iam@sung-woo.kim>
[ Upstream commit 4d7b41c0e43995b0e992b9f8903109275744b658 ]
Extend a critical section to prevent chan from early freeing.
Also make the l2cap_connect() return type void. Nothing is using the
returned value but it is ugly to return a potentially freed pointer.
Making it void will help with backports because earlier kernels did use
the return value. Now the compile will break for kernels where this
patch is not a complete fix.
Call stack summary:
[use]
l2cap_bredr_sig_cmd
l2cap_connect
┌ mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock);
│ chan = pchan->ops->new_connection(pchan); <- alloc chan
│ __l2cap_chan_add(conn, chan);
│ l2cap_chan_hold(chan);
│ list_add(&chan->list, &conn->chan_l); ... (1)
└ mutex_unlock(&conn->chan_lock);
chan->conf_state ... (4) <- use after free
[free]
l2cap_conn_del
┌ mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock);
│ foreach chan in conn->chan_l: ... (2)
│ l2cap_chan_put(chan);
│ l2cap_chan_destroy
│ kfree(chan) ... (3) <- chan freed
└ mutex_unlock(&conn->chan_lock);
