Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix status of pending commands flushed on power off
cmd_complete_rsp() receives a struct cmd_lookup and, for a pending
command that has no cmd_complete callback, falls through to
cmd_status_rsp(cmd, data). cmd_status_rsp() reads data as a u8 *, so
the status sent comes from the first byte of match->sk's
representation, not from match->mgmt_status.
commit f53e1c9c726d ("Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix possible crash on
mgmt_index_removed") changed the callers' data from &status to &match
and updated the cmd_complete branch to match->mgmt_status, but left
the fall-through passing data unchanged.
In mgmt_index_removed() match->sk is NULL, so every such command is
answered with status 0x00 (Success) instead of
MGMT_STATUS_INVALID_INDEX. In __mgmt_power_off() it is NULL too,
unless a Set Powered command was pending: then settings_rsp() has
stored that command's socket in match->sk, and the byte sent comes
from the
