      <title>CVE-2023-53016 — Bluetooth: Fix possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53016</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bluetooth: Fix possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;syzbot reports a possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change [1].
While rfcomm_sock_connect acquires the sk lock and waits for
the rfcomm lock, rfcomm_sock_release could have the rfcomm
lock and hit a deadlock for acquiring the sk lock.
Here&amp;#39;s a simplified flow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rfcomm_sock_connect:
  lock_sock(sk)
  rfcomm_dlc_open:
    rfcomm_lock()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rfcomm_sock_release:
  rfcomm_sock_shutdown:
    rfcomm_lock()
    __rfcomm_dlc_close:
        rfcomm_k_state_change:
	  lock_sock(sk)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This patch drops the sk lock before calling rfcomm_dlc_open to
avoid the possible deadlock and holds sk&amp;#39;s reference count to
prevent use-after-free after rfcomm_dlc_open completes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
