Subject: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix reject-list lookup UAF
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 01:16:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002171603.3368121-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
l2cap_recv_frame() walks hdev->reject_list while holding conn->lock,
but reject-list updates are serialized by hdev->lock. Consequently,
block_device() or unblock_device() can mutate and free the current list
entry while the receive path is examining it.
The following interleaving causes the use-after-free:
l2cap_recv_frame() unblock_device()
fetch reject-list entry
hci_dev_lock()
list_del()
kfree()
hci_dev_unlock()
read entry->bdaddr_type
KASAN reported:

Taking hdev->lock from l2cap_recv_frame() would invert the established
hdev->lock to conn->lock order. Instead, walk the reject list under RCU,
publish and remove address-list entries with the RCU list primitives, and
defer their freeing until readers have left their critical sections.
The address-list helpers are shared with other lists. RCU publication
and deferred freeing preserve their existing locked lookup and matching
behavior while making reject-list traversal safe without changing lock
order.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase onto current bluetooth-next/master, preserving the v1 RCU fix.
- Compare the reported management and mesh failures against the exact
unpatched CI kernel base; retain test evidence outside the commit log.
- Add the coding-assistant annotation.
