Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 20:23:06 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: RFCOMM: serialize security confirmation handling

rfcomm_security_cfm() looks up a session on session_list and then walks
its DLC list without holding rfcomm_mutex. Since RFCOMM session teardown
uses rfcomm_mutex, krfcommd can close and free the same session and DLCs
concurrently:

  hci_rx_work                    krfcommd
  -----------                    ---------
  rfcomm_session_get()
                                 rfcomm_lock()
                                 rfcomm_session_close()
                                   rfcomm_dlc_unlink()
                                   rfcomm_session_del()
                                     kfree(s)
                                 rfcomm_unlock()
  walk s->dlcs

The callback can then read a freed session list head and touch freed DLCs
while updating their flags or timers.

Serialize the session lookup and DLC traversal in rfcomm_security_cfm()
with rfcomm_mutex. This matches the existing RFCOMM session lifetime
rules and prevents concurrent rfcomm_session_del() / rfcomm_dlc_unlink()
from tearing the objects down while the callback is using them.
