Subject: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: RFCOMM: fix NULL dereference of dlc->session in RFCOMM_CONNINFO
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 11:25:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919112518.3872094-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919091120.3273038-1-benquike@gmail.com>
The RFCOMM_CONNINFO getsockopt handler accepts a socket that is not
connected as long as deferred setup is enabled:
if (sk->sk_state != BT_CONNECTED &&
!rfcomm_pi(sk)->dlc->defer_setup) {
err = -ENOTCONN;
break;
}
l2cap_sk = rfcomm_pi(sk)->dlc->session->sock->sk;
dlc->defer_setup is set in rfcomm_sock_init() when rfcomm_connect_ind()
creates a child socket for an incoming connection on a listening socket
that has BT_DEFER_SETUP enabled. It is never cleared afterwards. The
session, however, can go away underneath it.
rfcomm_recv_disc() forces the dlc state before tearing it down:
d->state = BT_CLOSED;
__rfcomm_dlc_close(d, err);
The RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP early return in __rfcomm_dlc_close() only covers
BT_CONNECT, BT_CONFIG, BT_OPEN and BT_CONNECT2, so with the state
already BT_CLOSED that switch does not match and the function falls
through to rfcomm_dlc_unlink(), which sets d->session = NULL, while
d->defer_setup stays 1.
A getsockopt(SOL_RFCOMM, RFCOMM_CONNINFO) on the accepted socket after
that point therefore skips the -ENOTCONN path -- sk->sk_state is
BT_CLOSED, but dlc->defer_setup is still set -- and dereferences the
NULL session. No race is needed: once the DISC has been processed, the
dereference is unconditional.
Reproduced on a KASAN kernel under QEMU 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 and sends SABM for a channel bound with
BT_DEFER_SETUP, and sends DISC for that dlci after the socket has been
accepted. getsockopt(SOL_RFCOMM, RFCOMM_CONNINFO) on the accepted
socket then hits:

0x10 is the offset of sock in struct rfcomm_session;
rfcomm_sock_getsockopt_old() is inlined into rfcomm_sock_getsockopt().
Commit 43a556b2fd43 ("Bluetooth: RFCOMM: take rfcomm_mutex for the
deferred setup accept") fixed the same "a remote DISC clears the session
while deferred setup is still flagged" problem in rfcomm_dlc_accept();
this is the remaining instance of it, in the getsockopt path.
Deferred setup only leaves a socket usable here once it has reached
BT_CONNECT2, so restrict the exception to that state and check that a
session is actually present before following it.

v2: Corrected the changelog. v1 claimed BT_DEFER_SETUP on a listening
socket stores into dlc->defer_setup; it does not - it sets
BT_SK_DEFER_SETUP in bt_sk(sk)->flags, and dlc->defer_setup is only set
on the child socket created by rfcomm_connect_ind(). The three-line
"reproducer" in v1 (socket/listen/setsockopt/getsockopt) consequently
could not have triggered anything and has been dropped. The real
trigger is a remote DISC unlinking the session of an already accepted
deferred-setup dlc, which is what the reproducer actually did. Also
added the Fixes: and Cc: stable tags. Apologies for the noise on v1.
Behaviour change worth noting: deferred-setup sockets whose session has
gone away now get -ENOTCONN instead of crashing, and deferred-setup
sockets outside BT_CONNECT2 also get -ENOTCONN.
