| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: Serialize fragmented ISO packet queueing
The fragmented path in hci_queue_iso() calls __skb_queue_tail() without
holding conn->data_q.lock. The socket lock serializes senders, but the
transmit worker can concurrently remove packets from this queue using
skb_dequeue().
After an insertion saves the old tail pointer, hci_sched_iso() can dequeue
that packet and pass it to the driver. The driver can free the packet
before the insertion resumes and writes to the old tail's next pointer,
causing a use-after-free. Concurrent updates can also corrupt the queue.
KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_send_iso+0xc7d/0xe10

Hold the queue lock across the entire fragment batch, as hci_queue_acl()
does, to serialize insertion against dequeue while preserving fragment
ordering. |
