Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-01 15:04:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix use-after-free in l2cap_conn_del()

When l2cap_recv_frame() is invoked to receive data, and the cid is
L2CAP_CID_A2MP, if the channel does not exist, it will create a channel.
However, after a channel is created, the hold operation of the channel
is not performed. In this case, the value of channel reference counting
is 1. As a result, after hci_error_reset() is triggered, l2cap_conn_del()
invokes the close hook function of A2MP to release the channel. Then
 l2cap_chan_unlock(chan) will trigger UAF issue.

The process is as follows:
Receive data:
l2cap_data_channel()
    a2mp_channel_create()  --->channel ref is 2
    l2cap_chan_put()       --->channel ref is 1

Triger event:
    hci_error_reset()
        hci_dev_do_close()
        ...
        l2cap_disconn_cfm()
            l2cap_conn_del()
                l2cap_chan_hold()    --->channel ref is 2
                l2cap_chan_del()     --->channel ref is 1
                a2mp_chan_close_cb() --->channel ref is 0, release channel
                l2cap_chan_unlock()  --->UAF of channel
