In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix out-of-bounds write in l2cap_ecred_connect
l2cap_chan_connect() tries to ensure there are no more than
L2CAP_ECRED_CONN_SCID_MAX pending ECRED channels, so they fit in the
same L2CAP_ECRED_CONN_REQ that l2cap_ecred_connect() constructs.
However, the check only counts deferred channels. If 6 L2CAP sockets
are connected at the same time in order DDDDND (D=deferred,
N=non-deferred), the last can bump the total to max+1. It results to
one __le16 written out of bounds of the scid array, and an invalid
ECRED_CONN_REQ being sent.
Fix by leaving room for the non-deferred pending ECRED channels in the
counting in l2cap_chan_connect(), so the limit can't be exceeded.
Move counting under same critical section where the channel is added.
Although race conditions involving this appear unreachable, it's easier
to see.
Also add WARN_ON_ONCE check in l2cap_ecred_defer_connect() to make this
less brittle.
