CVE-2024-41062

Technical Description

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

bluetooth/l2cap: sync sock recv cb and release

The problem occurs between the system call to close the sock and hci_rx_work,

where the former releases the sock and the latter accesses it without lock protection.

CPU0 CPU1

---- ----

sock_close hci_rx_work

l2cap_sock_release hci_acldata_packet

l2cap_sock_kill l2cap_recv_frame

sk_free l2cap_conless_channel

l2cap_sock_recv_cb

If hci_rx_work processes the data that needs to be received before the sock is

closed, then everything is normal; Otherwise, the work thread may access the

released sock when receiving data.

Add a chan mutex in the rx callback of the sock to achieve synchronization between

the sock release and recv cb.

Sock is dead, so set chan data to NULL, avoid others use invalid sock poi

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
