In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_conn: fix CIS hold ownership on reuse
Commit 69997d50ec57 ("Bluetooth: ISO: handle bound CIS cleanup via
hci_conn") made hci_bind_cis() and hci_connect_cis() return a
connection with one hold for the ISO layer. hci_bind_cis() currently
takes that hold only after configuring a CIS, so its BT_CONNECTED and
matching BT_BOUND paths return a bare lookup result. Its configuration
failure path can likewise call hci_conn_drop() before taking a hold.
Take the hold before any state-dependent return or configuration error
so every successful return follows the documented ownership contract
and every error drop is balanced.
hci_connect_cis() also assumes hci_conn_link() always takes a new CIS
hold before dropping the one returned by hci_bind_cis(). However, the
helper returns an existing link without taking another hold. In that
case, preserve the CIS hold for the caller and drop the redundant LE
hold because the existing link already owns its parent hold. Returning
early also avoids changing an existing CIS back to BT_CONNECT.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. Improper reference count management during the reuse and binding of Connected Isochronous Stream (CIS) connections can result in an unbalanced connection hold count. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by triggering specific connection setup and error paths, potentially leading to memory corruption or a denial of service (system crash).
Отчет
Bluetooth CIS connection reuse violates the documented reference ownership contract because hci_bind_cis can return an existing connection without taking the ISO layer hold. hci_connect_cis can then drop that reference after hci_conn_link returns an existing link without acquiring another CIS hold. This can cause premature object release and creates a potential use-after-free condition in later Bluetooth connection handling. For the CVSS the PR:L is selected because a local user or process must normally access Bluetooth ISO socket functionality, while full administrative privileges are not clearly required. AC:H is selected because triggering depends on CIS reuse, an existing link or bound state, and a suitable object lifetime window. The issue is not proven to be remotely triggerable by a nearby Bluetooth peer without local participation. Impact is at least a local denial of service via kernel crash and in the worst case may allow confidentiality or integrity impact through use-after-free based memory corruption or privilege escalation.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
