commit 43a556b2fd43f2df6dded59c2e26560a27874c24 upstream.

rfcomm_sock_recvmsg() completes a deferred setup by calling
rfcomm_dlc_accept() without holding any RFCOMM lock:

	if (test_and_clear_bit(RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP, &amp;d-&gt;flags)) {
		rfcomm_dlc_accept(d);
		return 0;
	}

and rfcomm_dlc_accept() dereferences the session on its first line:

	struct sock *sk = d-&gt;session-&gt;sock-&gt;sk;

Every other path that touches d-&gt;session runs under rfcomm_mutex:
rfcomm_dlc_open(), rfcomm_dlc_close(), rfcomm_dlc_exists(),
rfcomm_dlc_send_rpn(), and the RFCOMM thread through
rfcomm_process_sessions(). rfcomm_connect_ind() is even documented as
"called under rfcomm_lock()". This call site is the only one that skips
it.

The RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP bit looks like it serialises the accept against
teardown, since __rfcomm_dlc_close() returns early when it wins the
test_and_clear. But rfcomm_recv_disc() forces the state first:

	d-&gt;state = BT_CLOSED;
	__rfcomm_dlc_close(d, err);

and the early return only covers BT_CONNECT, BT_CONFIG, BT_OPEN and
BT_CONNECT2. With the state already BT_CLOSED that switch does not
match, the bit is never consulted, and __rfcomm_dlc_close() falls
through to rfcomm_dlc_unlink(), which sets d-&gt;session = NULL.

So a remote DISC on a deferred dlc clears the session while leaving
RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP set. The next recvmsg() then passes the
test_and_clear and dereferences a NULL session. No timing window is
needed: once the DISC has been processed, the dereference is
unconditional.

Give rfcomm_dlc_accept() the same shape as rfcomm_dlc_open() and
rfcomm_dlc_close(): an exported wrapper that takes rfcomm_mutex and
re-checks the session, around a __rfcomm_dlc_accept() that the two
in-core callers, which already hold the mutex, keep using.

Reproduced on a KASAN + PROVE_LOCKING kernel with a BR/EDR peer emulated
over /dev/vhci: the peer brings up an ACL link, opens L2CAP on the
RFCOMM PSM, starts a session, opens a dlc on a channel bound with
BT_DEFER_SETUP, and sends DISC after the socket is accepted. recv() on
the accepted socket then hits:

  Oops: general protection fault
  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]
  RIP: 0010:rfcomm_dlc_accept+0x54/0x350
  Call Trace:
    rfcomm_sock_recvmsg+0x1cd/0x230
    sock_recvmsg+0x166/0x1c0
    __sys_recvfrom+0x20d/0x300

0x10 is the offset of sock in struct rfcomm_session. With this patch the
same run completes with recv() returning 0 and no report, and lockdep
stays quiet, confirming rfcomm_mutex is still taken before lock_sock on
this path as it is on the thread side.

<title>Bluetooth: RFCOMM: validate skb length in rfcomm_recv_frame</title>

rfcomm_recv_frame() casts skb-&gt;data to struct rfcomm_hdr and dereferences
hdr-&gt;addr and hdr-&gt;ctrl without validating skb-&gt;len first. A truncated
frame with skb-&gt;len less than the minimum header size causes an
out-of-bounds read of uninitialized memory. Additionally, a zero-length
frame causes skb-&gt;len-- to underflow to UINT_MAX, making
skb_tail_pointer() read far past the buffer.

Commit 23882b828c3c ("Bluetooth: RFCOMM: validate skb length in MCC
handlers") fixed the same class of missing-length-check bugs in the MCC
sub-handlers, but the top-level rfcomm_recv_frame() was left unfixed.
KMSAN reports:

  BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in rfcomm_run
  ...
  Uninit was created at:
    __alloc_skb+0x474/0xb60
    vhci_write+0xe9/0x870

Fix this by rejecting frames smaller than sizeof(struct rfcomm_hdr) + 1
(the minimum frame must have a 3-byte header and a 1-byte FCS).

rfcomm_tty_set_termios() tests dlc-&gt;session without rfcomm_mutex and
later passes the pointer to rfcomm_send_rpn(). The latter dereferences
both session-&gt;initiator and session-&gt;sock. Meanwhile, krfcommd can
unlink the DLC and free the session while holding rfcomm_mutex.

The race can proceed as follows:

  TTY ioctl task                 krfcommd
  --------------                 --------
  load dlc-&gt;session
  enter rfcomm_send_rpn()

                                 clear dlc-&gt;session
                                 free session
                                 unlock rfcomm_mutex

Leave the warranty disclaimer in files where the license ID is

Convert RFCOMM socket's getsockopt implementation to use the new
getsockopt_iter callback with sockopt_t.

Key changes:
- Replace (char __user *optval, int __user *optlen) with sockopt_t *sopt
- Use sopt-&gt;optlen for buffer length (input)
- Use copy_to_iter() instead of put_user()/copy_to_user()
- Add linux/uio.h for copy_to_iter()

The sockopt_t parameter is named sopt rather than opt to avoid
collision with the existing local u32 opt used by RFCOMM_LM.

The RFCOMM MCC handlers cast skb-&gt;data to protocol-specific structs
without validating skb-&gt;len first. A malicious remote device can send
truncated MCC frames and trigger out-of-bounds reads in these handlers.

Fix this by using skb_pull_data() to validate and access the required
data before dereferencing it.

rfcomm_recv_rpn() requires special handling since ETSI TS 07.10 allows
1-byte RPN requests. Handle this by validating only the DLCI byte first,
and validating the full struct only when len &gt; 1.

<title>Bluetooth: RFCOMM: hold listener socket in rfcomm_connect_ind()</title>

rfcomm_get_sock_by_channel() scans rfcomm_sk_list under the list lock,
but returns the selected listener after dropping that lock without
taking a reference. rfcomm_connect_ind() then locks the listener,
queues a child socket on it, and may notify it after unlocking it.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:

rfcomm_connect_ind():            listener close:

rfcomm_get_sock_by_channel() scans rfcomm_sk_list under the list lock,
but returns the selected listener after dropping that lock without
taking a reference. rfcomm_connect_ind() then locks the listener,
queues a child socket on it, and may notify it after unlocking it.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:

rfcomm_connect_ind():            listener close:
  1. Find parent in              1. close() enters
     rfcomm_get_sock_by_channel()   rfcomm_sock_release().
  2. Drop rfcomm_sk_list.lock    2. rfcomm_sock_shutdown()
     without pinning parent.        closes the listener.
  3. Call lock_sock(parent) and  3. rfcomm_sock_kill()
     bt_accept_enqueue(parent,      unlinks and puts parent.
     sk, true).
  4. Read parent flags and may   4. parent can be freed.
     call sk_state_change().

If close wins the race, parent can be freed before
rfcomm_connect_ind() reaches lock_sock(), bt_accept_enqueue(), or the
deferred-setup callback.

<title>Bluetooth: fix UAF in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() vs l2cap_conn_del()</title>

bt_accept_dequeue() unlinks a not-yet-accepted child from the parent
accept queue and release_sock()s it before returning, so the returned
sk has no caller reference and is unlocked.

l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() walks these children on listening-socket
close.  A concurrent HCI disconnect drives hci_rx_work -&gt;
l2cap_conn_del() which runs l2cap_chan_del() + l2cap_sock_kill() and
frees the child sk and its l2cap_chan; cleanup_listen() then uses both:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in l2cap_sock_kill
    l2cap_sock_kill / l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen / __x64_sys_close
  Freed by: l2cap_conn_del -&gt; l2cap_sock_close_cb -&gt; l2cap_sock_kill

This is distinct from the two fixes already in this area: commit
e83f5e24da741 ("Bluetooth: serialize accept_q access") serialises the
accept_q list/poll and takes temporary refs inside bt_accept_dequeue(),
and CVE-2025-39860 serialises the userspace close()/accept() race by
calling cleanup_listen() under lock_sock() in l2cap_sock_release().
Neither covers l2cap_conn_del() running from hci_rx_work, so this UAF
still reproduces on current bluetooth/master.

Take the reference at the source: bt_accept_dequeue() does sock_hold()
while sk is still locked, before release_sock(); callers sock_put().
cleanup_listen() pins the chan with l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero() under
a brief child sk lock (serialising vs l2cap_sock_teardown_cb()), drops
it before l2cap_chan_lock(), and skips a duplicate l2cap_sock_kill() on
SOCK_DEAD.  conn-&gt;lock is not taken here: cleanup_listen() runs under
the parent sk lock and that would invert
conn-&gt;lock -&gt; chan-&gt;lock -&gt; sk_lock (lockdep).

KASAN/SMP: an unprivileged listen/close vs HCI-disconnect race produced
12 use-after-free reports per run before this change; 0, and no lockdep
report, over 1600+ raced iterations after it on bluetooth/master.

<title>Bluetooth: RFCOMM: pull credit byte with skb_pull_data()</title>

rfcomm_recv_data() treats the first payload byte as a credit field when
the UIH frame carries PF and credit-based flow control is enabled.

After the header has been stripped, the PF/CFC path consumes that byte
with a direct skb-&gt;data dereference followed by skb_pull(). A malformed
short frame can reach this path without a byte available.

Use skb_pull_data() so the length check and pull happen together before
the returned credit byte is consumed.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.
