L2CAP assumes that the locks conn->chan_lock and chan->lock are acquired in the order conn->chan_lock, chan->lock to avoid potential deadlock. For example, l2sock_shutdown acquires these locks in the order: mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock) l2cap_chan_lock(chan) However, l2cap_disconnect_req acquires chan->lock in l2cap_get_chan_by_scid first and then acquires conn->chan_lock before calling l2cap_chan_del. This means that these locks are acquired in unexpected order, which leads to potential deadlock: l2cap_chan_lock(c) mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock) This patch releases chan->lock before acquiring the conn_chan_lock to avoid the potential deadlock. Fixes: ("a2a9339e1c9d Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_disconnect_{req,rsp}") Signed-off-by: Ying Hsu <yinghsu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This commit has been tested on a Chromebook device. Changes in v4: - Using l2cap_get_chan_by_scid to avoid repeated code. - Releasing chan->lock before acquiring conn->chan_lock. Changes in v3: - Adding the fixes tag. Changes in v2: - Adding the prefix "Bluetooth:" to subject line. net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c b/net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c index 376b523c7b26..d9c4d26b2518 100644 --- a/net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c +++ b/net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c @@ -4663,7 +4663,9 @@ static inline int l2cap_disconnect_req(struct l2cap_conn *conn, chan->ops->set_shutdown(chan); + l2cap_chan_unlock(chan); mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock); + l2cap_chan_lock(chan); l2cap_chan_del(chan, ECONNRESET); mutex_unlock(&conn->chan_lock); @@ -4702,7 +4704,9 @@ static inline int l2cap_disconnect_rsp(struct l2cap_conn *conn, return 0; } + l2cap_chan_unlock(chan); mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock); + l2cap_chan_lock(chan); l2cap_chan_del(chan, 0); mutex_unlock(&conn->chan_lock); -- 2.41.0.rc0.172.g3f132b7071-goog
