- Summary
- Bluetooth: hci_event: call disconnect callback before deleting conn
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: call disconnect callback before deleting conn
In hcicsdisconnect, we do hciconndel even if disconnection failed.
ISO, L2CAP and SCO connections refer to the hciconn without hciconnget, so disconncfm must be called so they can clean up their conn, otherwise use-after-free occurs.
