Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> Bluetooth: bnep: Fix UAF read of dev-&gt;name<br /> <br /> bnep_add_connection() needs to keep holding the bnep_session_sem while<br /> reading dev-&gt;name (just like bnep_get_connlist() does); otherwise the<br /> bnep_session() thread can concurrently free the net_device, which can for<br /> example be triggered by a concurrent bnep_del_connection().<br /> <br /> (This UAF is fairly uninteresting from a security perspective;<br /> calling bnep_add_connection() requires passing a capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)<br /> check. It also requires completely tearing down a netdev during a fairly<br /> tight race window.)
