Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by sco_sock_timeout

When the sco connection is established and then, the sco socket

is releasing, timeout_work will be scheduled to judge whether

the sco disconnection is timeout. The sock will be deallocated

later, but it is dereferenced again in sco_sock_timeout. As a

result, the use-after-free bugs will happen. The root cause is

shown below:

Cleanup Thread | Worker Thread

sco_sock_release |

sco_sock_close |

__sco_sock_close |

sco_sock_set_timer |

schedule_delayed_work |

sco_sock_kill | (wait a time)

sock_put(sk) //FREE | sco_sock_timeout

| sock_hold(sk) //USE
