In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: 6lowpan: avoid untracked enable work
lowpan_enable_set() allocates a temporary work item and schedules do_enable_set() on system_wq, then returns to debugfs. The debugfs active operation has ended at that point, but the worker still executes module text and manipulates enable_6lowpan and listen_chan.
bt_6lowpan_exit() removes the debugfs files and immediately closes and puts listen_chan. It has no pointer to the queued work item, so it cannot cancel or flush it before tearing down the state that the worker uses.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path:
debugfs enable write module exit
- lowpan_enable_set() allocates 1. bt_6lowpan_exit() removes
set_enable work the debugfs file
- schedule_work() queues 2. bt_6lowpan_exit() closes
do_enable_set() and puts listen_chan
- the write operation returns 3. module teardown can continue
- do_enable_set() later runs
against stale state
Run the enable state transition synchronously in lowpan_enable_set() instead. The simple debugfs setter can sleep, and this file already handles the 6LoWPAN control write synchronously under the same set_lock. Once the setter returns, debugfs removal covers the whole operation and exit can no longer race with an untracked work item.
