When the sco connection is established and then, the sco socket is releasing, timeout_work will be scheduled to judge whether the sco disconnection is timeout. The sock will be deallocated later, but it is dereferenced again in sco_sock_timeout. As a result, the use-after-free bugs will happen. The root cause is shown below: Cleanup Thread | Worker Thread sco_sock_release | sco_sock_close | __sco_sock_close | sco_sock_set_timer | schedule_delayed_work | sco_sock_kill | (wait a time) sock_put(sk) //FREE | sco_sock_timeout | sock_hold(sk) //USE The KASAN report triggered by POC is shown below: [ 95.890016] ================================================================== [ 95.890496] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sco_sock_timeout+0x5e/0x1c0 [ 95.890755] Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800c388080 by task kworker/0:0/7 ...
