Use-after-free in Linux kernel Bluetooth enhanced SCO setup

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_conn: Lock parent access during enhanced SCO setup Bluetooth: hci_conn: Lock parent access during enhanced SCO setup hci_enhanced_setup_sync() runs on the request workqueue without the hci_dev_lock held by its caller when setup was queued. Its CVSD capability check and find_next_esco_param() dereference conn->parent while the receive workqueue can unlink and release that parent. The following interleaving can cause a use-after-free: hci_enhanced_setup_sync() hci_disconn_complete_evt() load conn->parent hci_dev_lock() hci_conn_del(ACL parent) unlink SCO child drop link's parent reference clear child->parent release ACL parent bt_link_release() kfree(parent) hci_dev_unlock() read parent->features[0][3] The reference held for the queued SCO child does not keep its ACL parent alive after unlinking. Commit 42de40abe25d ("Bluetooth: hci_conn: fix the SCO setup context lifetime") protects the child stored in the queued context, but leaves these parent accesses unprotected. With a 40 ms diagnostic delay after loading conn->parent, an instrumented kernel based on fd179f8a05be, which already contains 42de40abe25d, BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_enhanced_setup_sync+0xda5/0xdf0 Read of size 1 at addr ffff888102204047 by task kworker/u17:0/93 Call Trace: hci_enhanced_setup_sync+0xda5/0xdf0 hci_cmd_sync_work+0x13c/0x290 process_one_work+0x6b4/0x10e0 Allocated by task 92: __hci_conn_add+0x304/0x1df0 hci_connect_acl+0x349/0x3e0 hci_connect_sco+0x3b/0x9a0 sco_sock_connect+0x475/0xca0 Freed by task 94: kfree+0x121/0x3c0 bt_link_release+0x79/0xa0 device_release+0xc8/0x240 kobject_put+0x14d/0x280 hci_conn_del+0x524/0xe30 hci_disconn_complete_evt+0x403/0x8c0 hci_event_packet+0x71b/0xb20 hci_rx_work+0x293/0x730 The accessed address is 71 bytes into the freed ACL parent, at its features[0][3] byte; the queued SCO child is a different object. The diagnostic preserves the loaded parent across the delay, matching the unmodified compiled capability check, and does not change the parent references or teardown path. Hold hci_dev_lock() across the codec switch, including every call to find_next_esco_param(), and release it on all selection errors. Keep configure_datapath_sync() outside the critical section because it waits for HCI events. Preserve parameter selection and existing return values.
