Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: Reject concurrent BIS listener setup
iso_sock_listen() drops the socket lock before calling iso_listen_bis()
to preserve the hdev->lock ordering. Two concurrent listen() calls on
the same broadcast socket can therefore both observe BT_BOUND. Caller
A can attach connA and release the locks, then caller B can acquire
them and attach connB before A publishes BT_LISTEN.
__iso_chan_add() checks whether connB already has a socket, but not
whether the socket already has a connection. The second attachment
overwrites iso_pi(sk)->conn, leaking the connA reference and leaving
connA->sk intact. Socket teardown follows connB, so later events on
connA can cause a stale socket access.
Recheck BT_BOUND and require iso_pi(sk)->conn to be NULL after taking
both the HCI device and socket locks in iso_listen_bis(). The connection
check also covers the interval between attachment and publication of
BT_LISTEN. Reject a competing setup with -EBADFD through the existing
unlock path before allocating another connection.
