Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: hold sk properly in iso_conn_ready
sk deref in iso_conn_ready must be done either under conn->lock, or
holding a refcount, to avoid concurrent close. conn->sk is currently
accessed without either:
[Task 1] [Task 2]
iso_sock_release
iso_conn_ready
sk = conn->sk
lock_sock(sk)
conn->sk = NULL
lock_sock(sk)
release_sock(sk)
iso_sock_kill(sk)
UAF on sk deref
Fix possible UAF by holding sk refcount in iso_conn_ready(). Also
recheck after lock_sock that the socket is still valid. Adjust locking
so conn->sk is cleared only under lock_sock.
