In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: MGMT: revalidate LOAD_CONN_PARAM queued update
MGMT_OP_LOAD_CONN_PARAM queues conn_update_sync() when a single parameter
update changes an existing LE central connection. The queued work currently
stores a borrowed hci_conn_params entry from hdev->le_conn_params. A later
LOAD_CONN_PARAM request can clear disabled parameters and free that entry
before hci_cmd_sync_work() runs the queued callback.
Do not keep the borrowed hci_conn_params pointer in queued work. Queue the
hci_conn instead and hold a reference until the queued callback completes.
When the work runs, revalidate that the connection is still present, look
up the current hci_conn_params entry, and cancel the update if userspace
removed that entry while the work was pending.
Copy the interval values from the current params entry under hdev->lock,
then drop the lock and keep using hci_le_conn_update_sync() to issue the
update.
Validation reproduced this kernel report:
