Subject: CVE-2025-39860: Bluetooth: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

Bluetooth: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen()

syzbot reported the splat below without a repro.

In the splat, a single thread calling bt_accept_dequeue() freed sk
and touched it after that.

The root cause would be the racy l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() call
added by the cited commit.

bt_accept_dequeue() is called under lock_sock() except for
l2cap_sock_release().

Two threads could see the same socket during the list iteration
in bt_accept_dequeue():

  CPU1                        CPU2 (close())
  ----                        ----
  sock_hold(sk)               sock_hold(sk);
  lock_sock(sk)   <-- block close()
  sock_put(sk)
  bt_accept_unlink(sk)
    sock_put(sk)  <-- refcnt by bt_accept_enqueue()
  release_sock(sk)
                              lock_sock(sk)
                              sock_put(sk)
                              bt_accept_unlink(sk)
                                sock_put(sk)        <-- last refcnt
                              bt_accept_unlink(sk)  <-- UAF

Depending on the timing, the other thread could show up in the
"Freed by task" part.

Let's call l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() under lock_sock() in
l2cap_sock_release().

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
