From: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 56897b217a1d0a91c9920cb418d6b3fe922f590a upstream. task A: task B: hci_uart_set_proto flush_to_ldisc - p->open(hu) -> h5_open //alloc h5 - receive_buf - set_bit HCI_UART_PROTO_READY - tty_port_default_receive_buf - hci_uart_register_dev - tty_ldisc_receive_buf - hci_uart_tty_receive - test_bit HCI_UART_PROTO_READY - h5_recv - clear_bit HCI_UART_PROTO_READY while() { - p->open(hu) -> h5_close //free h5 - h5_rx_3wire_hdr - h5_reset() //use-after-free } It could use ioctl to set hci uart proto, but there is a use-after-free issue when hci_uart_register_dev() fail in hci_uart_set_proto(), see stack above, fix this by setting HCI_UART_PROTO_READY bit only when hci_uart_register_dev() return success.
