However, if\na mesh transmission was already queued onto hdev->cmd_sync_work_list via\nmesh_next(), the queued entry retains a raw pointer to mesh_tx.\n\nWhen hci_cmd_sync_work later processes the entry, it attempts to execute\nmesh_send_sync and its destroy callback mesh_send_start_complete using\nthe already freed mesh_tx pointer, leading to a use-after-free.\n\nFix this by invoking hci_cmd_sync_dequeue() for mesh_send_sync on the\ntarget mesh_tx before completing it.  If the entry is found and dequeued,\nits destroy callback will complete and free the object; otherwise,\nmesh_send_complete() is called directly.\n\nAdditionally, ensure the transmission queue advances after cancellation\nor errors.  In mesh_send_start_complete(), call mesh_next() on error\nunless err is -ECANCELED, because hci_cmd_sync_dequeue() holds\nhdev->cmd_sync_work_lock and calling mesh_next() synchronously would\ndeadlock.  Instead, advance the queue in send_cancel() once the lock is\nreleased and if no transmission is in progress."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/bluetooth/mgmt.c"],"versions":[{"version":"b338d91703fae6f6afd67f3f75caa3b8f36ddef3","lessThan":"f84e52829021d00bca8e067302f597c71af1f71a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b338d91703fae6f6afd67f3f75caa3b8f36ddef3","lessThan":"718a8ffa180d469f99ad4f746f00cafd39456415","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b338d91703fae6f6afd67f3f75caa3b8f36ddef3","lessThan":"084be90948632a5a358821e687b11a14445aae76","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b338d91703fae6f6afd67f3f75caa3b8f36ddef3","lessThan":"2189a219397d8e73808a67c4aade837b635705da","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b338d91703fae6f6afd67f3f75caa3b8f36ddef3","lessThan":"03ced4687fb79286be7fdee0fc58d2c74de3e7bb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b338d91703fae6f6afd67f3f75caa3b8f36ddef3","lessThan":"71af682ba4692c2ed9ace4c3d4ca462ae368c029","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/bluetooth/mgmt.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.1","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.189","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.158","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.112","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.55","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.189"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.158"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.112"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.55"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f84e52829021d00bca8e067302f597c71af1f71a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/718a8ffa180d469f99ad4f746f00cafd39456415"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/084be90948632a5a358821e687b11a14445aae76"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2189a219397d8e73808a67c4aade837b635705da"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/03ced4687fb79286be7fdee0fc58d2c74de3e7bb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/71af682ba4692c2ed9ace4c3d4ca462ae368c029"}],"title":"Bluetooth: mgmt: Dequeue pending mesh_send_sync entries on cancel","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
