CVE: CVE-2024-27398
Published: 2024-05-14
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
