Two concurrent listen() calls on\nthe same broadcast socket can therefore both observe BT_BOUND. Caller\nA can attach connA and release the locks, then caller B can acquire\nthem and attach connB before A publishes BT_LISTEN.\n\n__iso_chan_add() checks whether connB already has a socket, but not\nwhether the socket already has a connection. The second attachment\noverwrites iso_pi(sk)->conn, leaking the connA reference and leaving\nconnA->sk intact. Socket teardown follows connB, so later events on\nconnA can cause a stale socket access.\n\nRecheck BT_BOUND and require iso_pi(sk)->conn to be NULL after taking\nboth the HCI device and socket locks in iso_listen_bis().

An HCI disconnect only consumes the stranded connA->sk, so an adjacent peer cannot create the race alone.\nAC:L - Attacker threads control both listen() calls and can make each observe BT_BOUND before either publishes BT_LISTEN, causing hci_pa_create_sync() to create separate candidates. The attacker can close the socket and end its own broadcast/sync to drive teardown, without victim-controlled timing.\nPR:L - bt_sock_create(), iso_sock_create(), iso_sock_bind(), and iso_sock_listen() contain no capable() or ns_capable() check, so an ordinary process in init_net can create and race the socket. A separate network namespace is rejected, but no user namespace or capability is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker creates and binds the ISO socket, launches both listen() calls, and closes it; the later HCI callback is asynchronous kernel/controller work. No victim action is required.\nS:U - iso_conn_del() corrupts memory within the same host kernel that implements the attacker's ISO socket; the path crosses no VM, IOMMU, or other security authority boundary.\nC:H - After iso_pi(sk)->conn is overwritten, connA retains connA->sk and iso_sock_hold() can refcount a freed or reclaimed kmalloc-2k struct iso_pinfo. Exploiting the ensuing callback-capable socket operations permits control-flow hijack and arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - iso_conn_del() passes the stale sk to iso_chan_del(), which writes sk_state and sk_err and invokes sk_state_change or parent->sk_data_ready. Reclaiming the freed object can turn these operations into arbitrary writes or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - KASAN observed the slab use-after-free in iso_sock_hold() from hci_disconn_complete_evt() after iso_sock_release() freed the socket. Invalid refcount, locking, and callback accesses can cause a kernel oops or panic." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/bluetooth/iso.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "c541d7b5e17987ed330798b07d4ad508859c1c93", "lessThan": "559e4d2b6f83aaa96061659cc7104b7a0293f9ef", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "168e28305b871d8ec604a8f51f35467b8d7ba05b", "lessThan": "90b744066ca520d1a6a505a11ade9c9a5f48accf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "168e28305b871d8ec604a8f51f35467b8d7ba05b", "lessThan": "79993e9919a87068183ba3622c383f05c049c4bc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "168e28305b871d8ec604a8f51f35467b8d7ba05b", "lessThan": "555ff78fa719f50ff4cdbdb40aa1acc6e8e327d3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6.12.6", "lessThan": "6.12.113", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/bluetooth/iso.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.13", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.113", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.57", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.113" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.57" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/559e4d2b6f83aaa96061659cc7104b7a0293f9ef" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90b744066ca520d1a6a505a11ade9c9a5f48accf" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79993e9919a87068183ba3622c383f05c049c4bc" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/555ff78fa719f50ff4cdbdb40aa1acc6e8e327d3" } ], "title": "Bluetooth: ISO: Reject concurrent BIS listener setup", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
