Subject: [PATCH v4] Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix UAF in hci_unregister_dev()
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 04:50:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603085047.256779-1-jaggyaur@gmail.com> (raw)
hci_unregister_dev() does not disable cmd_timer and ncmd_timer
before the hci_dev structure is freed. If a timeout fires
during device teardown, the callback dereferences freed memory
(including the hdev->reset function pointer), leading to a
use-after-free.
Add disable_delayed_work_sync() calls alongside the existing
disable_work_sync() calls to ensure both timers are fully
quiesced before teardown proceeds.

v4: v3 accidentally resent older fix using cancel_delayed_work_sync.
This is the correct version using disable_delayed_work_sync.
