[PATCH BlueZ 0/1] plugins/admin: Fix heap-use-after-free when using 2 controllers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This commit fixes the heap-use-after-free error when connecting 2
controllers. When a controller is connected
admin_policy_adapter_probe is called. If policy_data was already
allocated it gets freed, if not, it only gets allocated. Eventually
add_interface is called. Here policy_data is put in the "data" variable
(specific for each controller) and the process_changes task is called
with idle priority. This function ultimately accesses policy_data from
the "data" variable.

When Bluez crashes the flow is:
1)first controller is attached
2)admin_policy_adapter_probe is called and policy_data is allocated
4)second controller is attached
5)admin_policy_adapter_probe is called and policy_data is freed, then
allocated again
6)process_changes runs and the policy_data for the first controller is
read, but it was already freed, thus the crash
