In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: serialize security confirmation handling rfcomm_security_cfm() looks up a session on session_list and then walks its DLC list without holding rfcomm_mutex. Since RFCOMM session teardown uses rfcomm_mutex, krfcommd can close and free the same session and DLCs concurrently: hci_rx_work krfcommd ----------- --------- rfcomm_session_get() rfcomm_lock() rfcomm_session_close() rfcomm_dlc_unlink() rfcomm_session_del() kfree(s) rfcomm_unlock() walk s->dlcs The callback can then read a freed session list head and touch freed DLCs while updating their flags or timers. Serialize the session lookup and DLC traversal in rfcomm_security_cfm() with rfcomm_mutex. This matches the existing RFCOMM session lifetime rules and prevents concurrent rfcomm_session_del() / rfcomm_dlc_unlink() from tearing the objects down while the callback is using them.
