CVE-2024-36013 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix slab-use-after-free in l2cap_connect()

Extend a critical section to prevent chan from early freeing. Also make the l2cap_connect() return type void. Nothing is using the returned value but it is ugly to return a potentially freed pointer. Making it void will help with backports because earlier kernels did use the return value. Now the compile will break for kernels where this patch is not a complete fix.

Call stack summary:

[use] l2cap_bredr_sig_cmd l2cap_connect ? mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock); ? chan = pchan->ops->new_connection(pchan); <- alloc chan ? __l2cap_chan_add(conn chan); ? l2cap_chan_hold(chan); ? list_add(&chan->list &conn->chan_l); … (1) ? mutex_unlock(&conn->chan_lock); chan->conf_state … (4) <- use after free

[free] l2cap_conn_del ? mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock); ? foreach chan in conn->chan_l: … (2) ? l2cap_chan_put(chan); ? l2cap_chan_destroy ? kfree(chan) … (3) <- chan freed ? mutex_unlock(&conn->chan_lock);
