Vulnerability Title
Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix double free in 'hci_discovery_filter_clear()'
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix double free in 'hci_discovery_filter_clear()' Function 'hci_discovery_filter_clear()' frees 'uuids' array and then sets it to NULL. There is a tiny chance of the following race: 'hci_cmd_sync_work()' 'update_passive_scan_sync()' 'hci_update_passive_scan_sync()' 'hci_discovery_filter_clear()' kfree(uuids); <-------------------------preempted--------------------------------> 'start_service_discovery()' 'hci_discovery_filter_clear()' kfree(uuids); // DOUBLE FREE <-------------------------preempted--------------------------------> uuids = NULL; To fix it let's add locking around 'kfree()' call and NULL pointer assignment. Otherwise the following backtrace fires: [ ] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ ] kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:547! [ ] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ ] CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 246 Comm: bluetoothd Tainted: G O 6.12.19-kernel #1 [ ] Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE [ ] pstate: 60400005 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ ] pc : __slab_free+0xf8/0x348 [ ] lr : __slab_free+0x48/0x348 ...
