Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: rfcomm: Fix null-ptr-deref in rfcomm_check_security
During our fuzz testing of the connection and disconnection process at the RFCOMM layer, we discovered this bug. By comparing the packets from a normal connection and disconnection process with the testcase that triggered a KASAN report. We analyzed the cause of this bug as follows:
-
In the packets captured during a normal connection, the host sends a
Read Encryption Key Sizetype ofHCI_CMDpacket (Command Opcode: 0x1408) to the controller to inquire the length of encryption key.After receiving this packet, the controller immediately replies with a Command Completepacket (Event Code: 0x0e) to return the Encryption Key Size. -
In our fuzz test case, the timing of the controller's response to this packet was delayed to an unexpected point: after the RFCOMM and L2CAP layers had disconnected but before the HCI layer had disconnected.
-
After receiving the Encryption Key Size Response at the time described in point 2, the host still called the rfcomm_check_security function. However, by this time
struct l2cap_conn *conn = l2cap_pi(sk)->chan->conn;had already been released, and when the function executedreturn hci_conn_security(conn->hcon, d->sec_level, auth_type, d->out);, specifically when accessingconn->hcon, a null-ptr-deref error occurred.
To fix this bug, check if sk->sk_state is BT_CLOSED before calling
rfcomm_recv_frame in rfcomm_process_rx.
