Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: RFCOMM: serialize session teardown
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 01:45:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821174514.3034851-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
rfcomm_kill_listener() walks session_list and deletes every session
without holding rfcomm_mutex. A connect task holds that mutex while
rfcomm_session_create() adds a session and while its error path deletes
the session, but the unlocked teardown can still observe the object
between those operations.
The race can proceed as follows:
connect task krfcommd
------------ --------
rfcomm_lock()
rfcomm_session_add()
fetch session from session_list
kernel_connect() fails
rfcomm_session_del()
remove and free session
rfcomm_session_del(session)
The final call then reads the freed session and may corrupt the list.
KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rfcomm_session_del+0x15f/0x170
Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881019e9b40 by task krfcommd/87

Allocated by task 96:

rfcomm_session_del+0x109/0x170
rfcomm_dlc_open+0x9eb/0xdf0

Hold rfcomm_mutex across the teardown traversal, matching the locking
used by normal session processing and connect error cleanup.
