Hi Paul,


Thank you for your kind reply.

I have made the changes you mentioned and submitted a new version of the patch.

connection and disconnection process with the testcase that triggered a
KASAN report, we analyzed the cause of this bug as follows:

s/, we/. We/

1. In the packets captured during a normal connection, the host sends a
`Read Encryption Key Size` type of `HCI_CMD` packet(Command Opcode: 0x1408)

Please add a space before (.

to the controller to inquire the length of encryption key.After receiving
this packet, the controller immediately replies with a Command Complete
packet (Event Code: 0x0e) to return the Encryption Key Size.

2. 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.

3. 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 executed
`return hci_conn_security(conn->hcon, d->sec_level, auth_type, d->out);`,
specifically when accessing `conn->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.

Is this bug covered by a test case already?


Yes, I have submitted this bug in bugzilla include KASAN details and a coverable test case.
