CVE-2025-39860CVE-2025-39860
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen()
syzbot reported the splat below without a repro.
In the splat, a single thread calling bt_accept_dequeue() freed sk
and touched it after that.
The root cause would be the racy l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() call
added by the cited commit.
bt_accept_dequeue() is called under lock_sock() except for
l2cap_sock_release().
Two threads could see the same socket during the list iteration
in bt_accept_dequeue():
CPU1 CPU2 (close())
---- ----
sock_hold(sk) sock_hold(sk);
lock_sock(sk) <-- block close()
sock_put(sk)
bt_accept_unlink(sk)
sock_put(sk) <-- refcnt by bt_accept_enqueue()
release_sock(sk)
lock_sock(sk)
sock_put(sk)
bt_accept_unlink(sk)
sock_put(sk)
