Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: avoid deadlocks in iso_sock_timeout iso_sock_timeout() takes lock_sock, so sync disabling the timer while holding that lock may deadlock. iso_sock_timeout() may also run concurrently with iso_conn_del(), which leads to UAF [Task 1] [Task hdev->workqueue] iso_sock_timeout iso_conn_del iso_conn_hold_unless_zero iso_chan_del `------------> iso_conn_put caller frees hcon iso_conn_put iso_conn_free conn->hcon->iso_data = NULL; /* UAF */ Fix the deadlock by removing the disable from the lock_sock sections. Move the timer from iso_conn to iso_pinfo to decouple it from iso_conn which may need to be freed in lock_sock section. Convert some of the clear_timer to disable_timer.
