What it is

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

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free caused by l2cap_reassemble_sdu

Fix the race condition between the following two flows that run in

parallel:

1. l2cap_reassemble_sdu -> chan->ops->recv (l2cap_sock_recv_cb) ->

__sock_queue_rcv_skb.

2. bt_sock_recvmsg -> skb_recv_datagram, skb_free_datagram.

An SKB can be queued by the first flow and immediately dequeued and

freed by the second flow, therefore the callers of l2cap_reassemble_sdu

can't use the SKB after that function returns. However, some places

continue accessing struct l2cap_ctrl that resides in the SKB's CB for a

short time after l2cap_reassemble_sdu returns, leading to a

use-after-free condition (the stack trace is below, line numbers for

kernel 5.19.8).

Fix it by keeping a local copy of struct l2cap_ctrl.
