Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_unregister_user
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 23:50:16 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251106182016.26508-1-ssranevjti@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251105142251.101852-1-ssranevjti@gmail.com>
From: Shaurya Rane <ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in>
After commit ab4eedb790ca ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix corrupted list in
hci_chan_del"), l2cap_conn_del() uses conn->lock to protect access to
conn->users and conn->hchan. However, l2cap_register_user() and
l2cap_unregister_user() still use hci_dev_lock(), creating a race
condition where these functions can access conn->users and conn->hchan
concurrently with l2cap_conn_del().
This can lead to use-after-free and list corruption bugs, as reported
by syzbot.
Fix this by changing l2cap_register_user() and l2cap_unregister_user()
to use conn->lock instead of hci_dev_lock(), ensuring consistent locking
for the l2cap_conn structure.
Reported-by: syzbot+14b6d57fb728e27ce23c@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=14b6d57fb728e27ce23c
Fixes: ab4eedb790ca ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix corrupted list in hci_chan_del")
Changes in v2:
- Replaced hci_dev_lock()/unlock() with mutex_lock()/unlock(&conn->lock)
in both l2cap_register_user() and l2cap_unregister_user().
- Updated comments to match current locking rules.
- Removed unnecessary hci_dev_hold()/hci_dev_put() usage.
