In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: serialize iso_sock_clear_timer with socket lock
iso_sock_close() calls iso_sock_clear_timer() before acquiring
lock_sock(sk).
iso_sock_clear_timer() reads iso_pi(sk)->conn twice without the
socket lock held:
if (!iso_pi(sk)->conn)
return;
cancel_delayed_work(&iso_pi(sk)->conn->timeout_work);
Concurrently, iso_conn_del() executes under lock_sock(sk) and calls
iso_chan_del(), which sets iso_pi(sk)->conn to NULL and may result in
the final reference to the connection being dropped:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
iso_sock_clear_timer()
if (conn != NULL) ... lock_sock(sk)
iso_chan_del()
iso_pi(sk)->conn = NULL
cancel_delayed_work(conn) /* NULL deref or UAF */
iso_pi(sk)->conn is not stable across the unlock window, causing a
NULL pointer dereference or use-after-free.
Serialize iso_sock_clear_timer() with the socket lock by moving it
inside lock_sock()/release_sock(), matching the pattern used in
iso_conn_del() and all other call sites.
