Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] Bluetooth: mgmt: fix locking in unpair_device/disconnect_sync
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:23:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6288c79564bca6dfbf9e4ad87a99247cf7bcff2d.1783671570.git.pav@iki.fi> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783671570.git.pav@iki.fi>
Dereferencing RCU-protected pointers outside critical sections is
invalid and may lead to UAF.
Take hdev->lock for hci_conn lookup and hci_abort_conn(). Don't use RCU
to ensure the conn is fully initialized at this point.
Fixes: 227a0cdf4a028 ("Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix not generating command complete for MGMT_OP_DISCONNECT")
Signed-off-by: Pauli Virtanen <pav@iki.fi>

Notes:
v3:
- no change
v2:
- take hdev->lock instead of RCU, to make sure the conn object
is fully initialized before hci_conn_abort_sync()
hci_conn_abort_sync() may not be called with hdev->lock held
when called from hci_sync workqueue.
