Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] Bluetooth: mgmt: fix race in read_unconf_index_list()
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 19:14:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930231404.600931-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026092958-commerce-gangly-faea@gregkh>

From: Aldo Ariel Panzardo <qwe.aldo@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit b5dbb41b212c50c095a4dbee3017a84fe94f033b ]

read_unconf_index_list() counts unconfigured controllers before allocating
its response, then checks the device flags again while filling it.

hci_dev_list_lock stabilizes list membership, but it does not serialize the
per-device flags. During asynchronous controller setup, the worker can set
HCI_UNCONFIGURED and clear HCI_SETUP between the two passes. A controller
omitted from the allocation count can then become eligible for the fill
pass, causing an out-of-bounds write to rp->index[].

Allocate space for every device on hci_dev_list. Since list membership
cannot change while hci_dev_list_lock is held, the response remains large
enough regardless of flag transitions. The reported count and response
length still include only eligible unconfigured controllers.

Fixes: 73d1df2a7a10 ("Bluetooth: Add support for Read Unconfigured Index List command")
