Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: sco: Fix a race condition in sco_sock_timeout()
sco_sock_timeout() runs asynchronously and lock_sock(sk). If the socket
is closing while the timer is running, it holds the same lock
(lock_sock(sk)) twice, leading to a deadlock.
CPU 0 CPU 1
==================== ======================
sco_sock_close()
sco_sock_timeout()
lock_sock(sk) // <-- LOCK
__sco_sock_close()
sco_chan_del()
sco_conn_put()
sco_conn_free()
disable_delayed_work_sync()
lock(sk) // <-- SAME LOCK
Fix this by moving disable_delayed_work_sync() outside of lock_sock(sk),
ensuring that no lock_sock(sk) is held before sco_sock_timeout().
