> Our fuzzing tool finds a possible semantic bug in the Bluetooth system in
> Linux 6.2:
> 
> According to the core specification v5.4, the HCI_Inquiry command triggers
> the BR/EDR Controller to enter Inquiry Mode, a process used for discovering
> nearby BR/EDR Controllers. Furthermore, it is specified that an
> HCI_Command_Status event should be sent to the Host when the BR/EDR
> Controller has started the Inquiry process.
> 
> In our testing, if a related HCI_Command_Status event is sent by the
> controller without a preceding HCI_Inquiry command from the host, this could
> lead to a failure in establishing Bluetooth connections.
> 
> Through our examination and debugging of the Linux 6.2 source code, we have
> identified the underlying cause of the observed phenomenon:
> 
> (1.1) When the HCI_Command_Status event related to the HCI_Inquiry command
> is received, the function hci_cs_inquiry (/net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:2289)
> is called.
> 
> (1.2) This leads to the execution of set_bit(HCI_INQUIRY, &hdev->flags);
> (/net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:2298).
> 
> (2.1) Upon initiating an ACL connection for the first time, the function
> hci_acl_create_connection (/net/bluetooth/hci_conn.c:212) is called.
> 
> (2.2) The result of test_bit(HCI_INQUIRY, &hdev->flags)
> (/net/bluetooth/hci_conn.c:228) being true causes the connection's state to
> change to BT_CONNECT2, and the HCI_Inquiry_Cancel command is sent.
> 
> (3.1) When the HCI_Command_Complete event related to the HCI_Inquiry_Cancel
> command is received, the function hci_cc_inquiry_cancel
> (/net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:84) is called.
> 
> (3.2) The Status field of the HCI_Command_Complete event being 0x0c results
> in the execution of return rp->status; (/net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:104).
> 
> (4.1) A timeout triggers hci_conn_timeout (/net/bluetooth/hci_conn.c:638),
> which in turn calls hci_abort_conn (/net/bluetooth/hci_conn.c:2771).
> 
> (4.2) This leads to the execution of case BT_CONNECT2:
> (/net/bluetooth/hci_conn.c:2771), where the HCI_Reject_Connection_Request
> command is sent. 
> 
> We are not sure whether this is a semantic bug or implementation feature in
> the Linux kernel. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

Can you check latest mainline (currently v6.7-rc1)?
