Bug 2528593 (CVE-2026-80819)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: RFCOMM: take rfcomm_mutex for the deferred setup accept

rfcomm_sock_recvmsg() completes a deferred setup by calling
rfcomm_dlc_accept() without holding any RFCOMM lock:

	if (test_and_clear_bit(RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP, &d->flags)) {
		rfcomm_dlc_accept(d);
		return 0;
	}

and rfcomm_dlc_accept() dereferences the session on its first line:

	struct sock *sk = d->session->sock->sk;

Every other path that touches d->session runs under rfcomm_mutex:
rfcomm_dlc_open(), rfcomm_dlc_close(), rfcomm_dlc_exists(),
rfcomm_dlc_send_rpn(), and the RFCOMM thread through
rfcomm_process_sessions(). rfcomm_connect_ind() is even documented as
"called under rfcomm_lock()". This call site is the only one that skips
it.

The RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP bit looks like it serialises the accept against
teardown, since __rfcomm_dlc_close() returns early when it wins the
test_and_clear. But rfcomm_recv_disc() forces the state first:

	d->state = BT_CLOSED;
	__rfcomm_dlc_close(d, err);

and the early return only covers BT_CONNECT, BT_CONFIG, BT_OPEN and
BT_CONNECT2. With the state already BT_CLOSED that switch does not
match, the bit is never consulted, and __rfcomm_dlc_close() falls
through to rfcomm_dlc_unlink(), which sets d->session = NULL.

So a remote DISC on a deferred dlc clears the session while leaving
RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP set. The next recvmsg() then passes the
test_and_clear and dereferences a NULL session. No timing window is
needed: once the DISC has been processed, the dereference is
unconditional.

Give rfcomm_dlc_accept() the same shape as rfcomm_dlc_open() and
rfcomm_dlc_close(): an exported wrapper that takes rfcomm_mutex and
re-checks the session, around a __rfcomm_dlc_accept() that the two
in-core callers, which already hold the mutex, keep using.

Reproduced on a KASAN + PROVE_LOCKING kernel with a BR/EDR peer emulated
over /dev/vhci: the peer brings up an ACL link, opens L2CAP on the
RFCOMM PSM, starts a session, opens a dlc on a channel bound with
BT_DEFER_SETUP, and sends DISC after the socket is accepted. recv() on
the accepted socket then hits:

  Oops: general protection fault
  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]
  RIP: 0010:rfcomm_dlc_accept+0x54/0x350

    sock_recvmsg+0x166/0x1c0

0x10 is the offset of sock in struct rfcomm_session. With this patch the
same run completes with recv() returning 0 and no report, and lockdep
stays quiet, confirming rfcomm_mutex is still taken before lock_sock on
this path as it is on the thread side.
