CVE-2025-68304

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:Bluetooth: hci_core: lookup hci_conn on RX path on protocol sideThe hdev lock/lookup/unlock/use pattern in the packet RX path doesntensure hci_conn* is not concurrently modified/deleted. This lockingappears to be leftover from before conn_hash started using RCUcommit bf4c63252490b (Bluetooth: convert conn hash to RCU)and not clear if it had purpose since then.Currently, there are code paths that delete hci_conn* from elsewherethan the ordered hdev->workqueue where the RX work runs in. E.g.commit 5af1f84ed13a (Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF on hci_abort_conn_sync)introduced some of these, and there probably were a few others beforeit. Its better to do the locking so that even if these runconcurrently no UAF is possible.Move the lookup of hci_conn and associated socket-specific conn toprotocol recv handlers, and do them within a single critical sectionto cover hci_conn* usage and lookup.syzkaller has reported a crash that appears to be this issue: [Task hdev->workqueue] [Task 2] hci_disconnect_all_sync l2cap_recv_acldata(hcon) hci_conn_get(hcon) hci_abort_conn_sync(hcon) hci_dev_lock hci_dev_lock hci_conn_del(hcon) v-------------------------------- hci_dev_unlock hci_conn_put(hcon) conn = hcon->l2cap_data (UAF)
