Use-After-Free in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26886)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26886). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

Bluetooth: af_bluetooth: Fix deadlock

Attemting to do sock_lock on .recvmsg may cause a deadlock as shown
bellow, so instead of using sock_sock this uses sk_receive_queue.lock
on bt_sock_ioctl to avoid the UAF:

INFO: task kworker/u9:1:121 blocked for more than 30 seconds.
