The hci_dev passed to hci_recv_frame() must stay alive until the receive
operation finishes. __vhci_create_device() stores data->hdev before
hci_register_dev() and frees the device if registration fails.
vhci_get_user() checks and uses that pointer without taking the
open_mutex held by the creator or a device reference.
An incoming packet write can overlap the delayed default-create work
scheduled by vhci_open(). If registration fails before acquiring the
registration reference, the following order is possible:
Default-create work Packet write
vhci_create_device()
mutex_lock(open_mutex)
data->hdev = hdev
vhci_get_user()
load data->hdev
hci_register_dev() fails
hci_free_dev(hdev)
bt_host_release(): kfree(hdev)
data->hdev = NULL
mutex_unlock(open_mutex)
hci_recv_frame(hdev, skb)
read hdev->flags
The packet retains the pointer before the final put and reads flags
after the allocation is freed. The HCI_UP/HCI_INIT test therefore
accesses freed memory before it can reject the packet.
Hold open_mutex from the packet-side pointer check until
hci_recv_frame() returns. Creation and its error cleanup already hold
this mutex, so the writer waits until they finish and cannot retain a
failed device allocation. Release the mutex on the missing-device error
path too.
KASAN report as below:
