  "summary": "Bluetooth: ISO: fix iso_conn related locking and validity issues",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: ISO: fix iso_conn related locking and validity issues\n\nsk->sk_state indicates whether iso_pi(sk)->conn is valid. Operations\nthat check/update sk_state and access conn should hold lock_sock,\notherwise they can race.\n\nThe order of taking locks is hci_dev_lock > lock_sock > iso_conn_lock,\nwhich is how it is in connect/disconnect_cfm -> iso_conn_del ->\niso_chan_del.\n\nFix locking in iso_connect_cis/bis and sendmsg/recvmsg to take lock_sock\naround updating sk_state and conn.\n\niso_conn_del must not occur during iso_connect_cis/bis, as it frees the\niso_conn. Hold hdev->lock longer to prevent that.\n\nThis should not reintroduce the issue fixed in commit 241f51931c35\n(\"Bluetooth: ISO: Avoid circular locking dependency\"), since the we\nacquire locks in order. We retain the fix in iso_sock_connect to release\nlock_sock before iso_connect_* acquires hdev->lock.\n\nSimilarly for commit 6a5ad251b7cd (\"Bluetooth: ISO: Fix possible\ncircular locking dependency\"). We retain the fix in iso_conn_ready to\nnot acquire iso_conn_lock before lock_sock.\n\niso_conn_add shall return iso_conn with valid hcon. Make it so also when\nreusing an old CIS connection waiting for disconnect timeout (see\n__iso_sock_close where conn->hcon is set to NULL).\n\nTrace with iso_conn_del after iso_chan_add in iso_connect_cis:\n===============================================================\niso_sock_create:771: sock 00000000be9b69b7\niso_sock_init:693: sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_bind:827: sk 000000004dff667e 70:1a:b8:98:ff:a2 type 1\niso_sock_setsockopt:1289: sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_setsockopt:1289: sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_setsockopt:1289: sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_connect:875: sk 000000004dff667e\niso_connect_cis:353: 70:1a:b8:98:ff:a2 -> 28:3d:c2:4a:7e:da\nhci_get_route:1199: 70:1a:b8:98:ff:a2 -> 28:3d:c2:4a:7e:da\nhci_conn_add:1005: hci0 dst 28:3d:c2:4a:7e:da\niso_conn_add:140: hcon 000000007b65d182 conn 00000000daf8625e\n__iso_chan_add:214: conn 00000000daf8625e\niso_connect_cfm:1700: hcon 000000007b65d182 bdaddr 28:3d:c2:4a:7e:da status 12\niso_conn_del:187: hcon 000000007b65d182 conn 00000000daf8625e, err 16\niso_sock_clear_timer:117: sock 000000004dff667e state 3\n    <Note: sk_state is BT_BOUND (3), so iso_connect_cis is still\n    running at this point>\niso_chan_del:153: sk 000000004dff667e, conn 00000000daf8625e, err 16\nhci_conn_del:1151: hci0 hcon 000000007b65d182 handle 65535\nhci_conn_unlink:1102: hci0: hcon 000000007b65d182\nhci_chan_list_flush:2780: hcon 000000007b65d182\niso_sock_getsockopt:1376: sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_getname:1070: sock 00000000be9b69b7, sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_getname:1070: sock 00000000be9b69b7, sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_getsockopt:1376: sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_getname:1070: sock 00000000be9b69b7, sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_getname:1070: sock 00000000be9b69b7, sk 000000004dff667e\niso_sock_shutdown:1434: sock 00000000be9b69b7, sk 000000004dff667e, how 1\n__iso_sock_close:632: sk 000000004dff667e state 5 socket 00000000be9b69b7\n     <Note: sk_state is BT_CONNECT (5), even though iso_chan_del sets\n     BT_CLOSED (6).
