Subject: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix advertising data UAFs
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 23:34:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723153440.3224299-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720164738.2921802-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com>
hci_find_adv_instance() returns an adv_info pointer that is valid only
while hdev->lock is held. The advertising command-sync paths perform
instance lookups without that lock and, in some cases, retain the pointer
while waiting for a controller response.
An advertising termination event can therefore interleave as follows:
hci_cmd_sync_work hci_rx_work
hci_find_adv_instance()
__hci_cmd_sync_status()
wait for controller reply hci_dev_lock()
hci_remove_adv_instance()
kfree(adv)
adv->scan_rsp_changed = false
KASAN reported:

Protect the instance lookup and payload construction in the extended
advertising, scan response, and periodic advertising data paths. Snapshot
the advertising parameters under hdev->lock, but release the lock before
waiting for the controller.
Clear advertising-data dirty bits before issuing their commands and
restore them after a failure using a fresh lookup. Likewise, update the
reported transmit power through a fresh lookup after the parameter command
completes. No adv_info pointer then survives an HCI command wait.

Changes in v2:
- Address Sashiko review findings in the extended advertising data,
parameter, and periodic advertising data sibling paths.
- Keep the original scan-response fix unchanged.
