[PATCH] Bluetooth: Avoid potential use-after-free in hci_error_reset
Posted by Ying Hsu 2 years, 1 month ago 
While handling the HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR event, if the underlying
BT controller is not responding, the GPIO reset mechanism would
free the hci_dev and lead to a use-after-free in hci_error_reset.

Here's the call trace observed on a ChromeOS device with Intel AX201:
   queue_work_on+0x3e/0x6c
   __hci_cmd_sync_sk+0x2ee/0x4c0 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a6>]
   ? init_wait_entry+0x31/0x31
   __hci_cmd_sync+0x16/0x20 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a 6>]
   hci_error_reset+0x4f/0xa4 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a 6>]
   process_one_work+0x1d8/0x33f
   worker_thread+0x21b/0x373
   kthread+0x13a/0x152
   ? pr_cont_work+0x54/0x54
   ? kthread_blkcg+0x31/0x31
    ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

This patch holds the reference count on the hci_dev while processing
a HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR event to avoid potential crash.

                 ^^^^^
Should we also call hci_dev_put() if we hit this return?

Yep, I will fix that since Ive already pushed to bluetooth-next.

Here is the proposed change:

-       if (hci_dev_do_close(hdev))
-               return;
+       if (!hci_dev_do_close(hdev))
+               hci_dev_do_open(hdev);

-       hci_dev_do_open(hdev);
+       hci_dev_put(hdev);
