Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix allowing to change security multiple times
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 12:01:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401160153.1980387-3-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401160153.1980387-1-luiz.dentz@gmail.com>
From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com>
If FLAG_PENDING_SECURITY is already set it means SMP pairing process
is in progress and hcon->pending_sec_level shouldn't be changed since it
may require to change pairing requirements (MITM), which may not be
supported depending on stage of the pairing procedure, and
may result in a security level that don't match with the pairing keys
authentication (e.g. upgrading to BT_SECURITY_HIGH without setting
MITM requirements).
To fix tis problem the code will now return -EINPROGRESS if a process
call setsockopt(BT_SECURITY) and set FLAG_PENDING_SECURITY it needs to
await the socket to resume and clear the flag before it can update the
security level again.
