[PATCH] Bluetooth: Fix use-after-free read in hci_cmd_timeout()

From: Shigeru Yoshida
Date: Sat Nov 05 2022 - 15:05:57 EST


syzbot reported use-after-free in hci_cmd_timeout() [1]. The scenario
for the issue is as follows:

Task Workqueue
----------------------------------------------------------------------
hci_dev_open_sync
...
hci_dev_init_sync <- failed
...
if (hdev->sent_cmd)
kfree_skb(hdev->sent_cmd)
hci_cmd_timeout
...
if (hdev->sent_cmd)
sent = hdev->sent_cmd->data
^^ UAF occurred
hdev->sent_cmd = NULL

When hci_dev_init_sync() failed, hci_dev_open_sync() frees
hdev->send_cmd and set it to NULL. However, hci_cmd_timeout() can run
just after freeing hdev->sent_cmd because hdev->cmd_timer is not
canceled.

This patch fixes the issue by canceling hdev->cmd_timer before freeing
hdev->sent_cmd.
