CVE-2024-56654 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix using rcu_read_(un)lock while iterating

The usage of rcu_read_(un)lock while inside list_for_each_entry_rcu is not safe since for the most part entries fetched this way shall be treated as rcu_dereference:

Note that the value returned by rcu_dereference() is valid
only within the enclosing RCU read-side critical section [1]_.
For example the following is not legal::

	rcu_read_lock();
	p = rcu_dereference(head.next);
	rcu_read_unlock();
	x = p->address;	/ BUG!!! /
	rcu_read_lock();
	y = p->data;	/ BUG!!! /
	rcu_read_unlock();
