Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix reject-list lookup UAF
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 01:40:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821174022.3033729-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)

l2cap_recv_frame() walks hdev->reject_list while holding conn->lock,
but reject-list updates are serialized by hdev->lock. Consequently,
block_device() or unblock_device() can mutate and free the current list
entry while the receive path is examining it.

The following interleaving causes the use-after-free:

  l2cap_recv_frame()             unblock_device()
  fetch reject-list entry
                                  hci_dev_lock()
                                  list_del()
                                  kfree()
                                  hci_dev_unlock()
  read entry->bdaddr_type

KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_bdaddr_list_lookup

Taking hdev->lock from l2cap_recv_frame() would invert the established
hdev->lock to conn->lock order. Instead, walk the reject list under RCU,
publish and remove address-list entries with the RCU list primitives, and
defer their freeing until readers have left their critical sections.

The address-list helpers are shared with other lists. RCU publication
and deferred freeing preserve their existing locked lookup and matching
behavior while making reject-list traversal safe without changing lock
order.
