CVE-2022-49910

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free caused by l2cap_reassemble_sdu

Fix the race condition between the following two flows that run in parallel:

1. l2cap_reassemble_sdu -> chan->ops->recv (l2cap_sock_recv_cb) -> __sock_queue_rcv_skb.

2. bt_sock_recvmsg -> skb_recv_datagram, skb_free_datagram.

An SKB can be queued by the first flow and immediately dequeued and freed by the second flow, therefore the callers of l2cap_reassemble_sdu cant use the SKB after that function returns. However, some places continue accessing struct l2cap_ctrl that resides in the SKBs CB for a short time after l2cap_reassemble_sdu returns, leading to a use-after-free condition (the stack trace is below, line numbers for kernel 5.19.8).

Fix it by keeping a local copy of struct l2cap_ctrl.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
