Syzbot managed to trigger a use after free "KASAN: use-after-free Write in hci_sock_bind". I have reviewed the code manually and one possibly cause I have found is that we are not holding lock_sock(sk) when we do the hci_dev_put(hdev) in hci_sock_release(). My theory is that the bind and the release are racing against each other which results in this use after free.

I feel like maybe someone should audit the (struct proto_ops)->release() functions because there may be similar bugs to this in other drivers. net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c b/net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c index 5d0ed28c0d3a..c86598ff4283 100644 --- a/net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c +++ b/net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c @@ -831,6 +831,8 @@ static int hci_sock_release(struct socket *sock) if (!sk) return 0; + lock_sock(sk); + switch (hci_pi(sk)->channel) { case HCI_CHANNEL_MONITOR: atomic_dec(&monitor_promisc); @@ -878,6 +880,7 @@ static int hci_sock_release(struct socket *sock) skb_queue_purge(&sk->sk_receive_queue); skb_queue_purge(&sk->sk_write_queue); + release_sock(sk); sock_put(sk); return 0; } -- 2.11.0
