Unless changing the state back into an accepted state includes a call to "hci_conn_del_sysfs", as the real issue when getting a duplicate HCI_Create_Connection event is that device_add in hci_conn_add_sysfs is called twice for the same connection. There might be other issues as well in processing a duplicate event, but as far as I can see the bugs I trigger rely on multiple calls to device_add which lead in the long run to multiple user-after frees or null-pointer derefs. I tried to write that up in the bugzilla report here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215497 When using something like HCI_CONN_HANDLE_UNSET, we need to make sure that everywhere where we receive a handle from an event and use it to set conn->handle, it is a valid one. Otherwise a hacked / malicious controller would just send multiple events for the invalid handle. What solution do you prefer? If you don't mind I'd like to try to create a patch. >>>> On 21.01.22 18:36, Soenke Huster wrote: >>>>> When a HCI_CONNECTION_COMPLETE event is received multiple times >>>>> for the same handle, the device is registered multiple times which leads >>>>> to memory corruptions.
