This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Bluetooth: L2CAP: do not leave dangling sk pointer on error in l2cap_sock_create() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bluetooth-l2cap-do-not-leave-dangling-sk-pointer-on-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d916a23061e21b5d1cf60a4ab8f8747c556fbb16 Author: Ignat Korchagin <ignat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 14 16:38:01 2024 +0100 Bluetooth: L2CAP: do not leave dangling sk pointer on error in l2cap_sock_create() [ Upstream commit 7c4f78cdb8e7501e9f92d291a7d956591bf73be9 ] bt_sock_alloc() allocates the sk object and attaches it to the provided sock object. On error l2cap_sock_alloc() frees the sk object, but the dangling pointer is still attached to the sock object, which may create use-after-free in other code.
