Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: extend conn_hash lookup critical sections
Using RCU-protected pointers outside the critical sections without
refcount is incorrect and may result to UAF.
Extend critical section to cover both hci_conn_hash lookup and use of
the returned conn.
Add surrounding rcu_read_lock() also when return value is not used, in
preparation for RCU lockdep requirement to hci_lookup_le_connect().
This avoids concurrent deletion of the conn before we are done
dereferencing it.
Also, make sure to hold hdev->lock when accessing hdev->accept_list.
