Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> Bluetooth: hci_qca: Use del_timer_sync() before freeing<br /> <br /> While looking at a crash report on a timer list being corrupted, which<br /> usually happens when a timer is freed while still active. This is<br /> commonly triggered by code calling del_timer() instead of<br /> del_timer_sync() just before freeing.<br /> <br /> One possible culprit is the hci_qca driver, which does exactly that.<br /> <br /> Eric mentioned that wake_retrans_timer could be rearmed via the work<br /> queue, so also move the destruction of the work queue before<br /> del_timer_sync().
