Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] Bluetooth: hci_sync: always check if connection is alive before deleting
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 15:48:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922194838.26223-3-artem@trailofbits.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922194838.26223-1-artem@trailofbits.com>
From: Pauli Virtanen <pav@iki.fi>
[ Upstream commit a239110ee8e0b0aafa265f0d54f7a16744855e70 ]
In hci_abort_conn_sync it is possible that conn is deleted concurrently
by something else, also e.g. when waiting for hdev->lock. This causes
double deletion of the conn, so UAF or conn_hash.list corruption.
Fix by having all code paths check that the connection is still in
conn_hash before deleting it, while holding hdev->lock which prevents
any races.
Log (when powering off while BAP streaming, occurs rarely):

[ Backport to 6.1.y follow-up to 94d9ba9f9888: this tree lacks the later
BT_OPEN and BT_BOUND special cases, so retain its existing state
switch and add the common liveness check. ]
