"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: Fix race condition in hidp_session_thread\n\nThere is a potential race condition in hidp_session_thread that may\nlead to use-after-free. For instance, the timer is active while\nhidp_del_timer is called in hidp_session_thread(). After hidp_session_put,\nthen 'session' will be freed, causing kernel panic when hidp_idle_timeout\nis running.\n\nThe solution is to use del_timer_sync instead of del_timer.\n\nHere is the call trace:\n\n? hidp_session_probe+0x780/0x780\ncall_timer_fn+0x2d/0x1e0\n__run_timers.part.0+0x569/0x940\nhidp_session_probe+0x780/0x780\ncall_timer_fn+0x1e0/0x1e0\nktime_get+0x5c/0xf0\nlapic_next_deadline+0x2c/0x40\nclockevents_program_event+0x205/0x320\nrun_timer_softirq+0xa9/0x1b0\n__do_softirq+0x1b9/0x641\n__irq_exit_rcu+0xdc/0x190\nirq_exit_rcu+0xe/0x20\nsysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0xa1/0xc0"

"value": "AV:A - The vulnerable HIDP session and its idle timer are driven entirely by a Bluetooth peer's traffic and link teardown, so the attacker must be within Bluetooth radio range of the host. Bluetooth-reachable code is scored Adjacent.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: the idle timer is re-armed on every input report it sends (so expiry timing is known precisely), and it triggers the session-thread exit at that exact moment via an L2CAP disconnect or a VIRTUAL_CABLE_UNPLUG control message. The attempt can be repeated indefinitely by reconnecting.\nPR:N - The attacker needs no account or privileges on the target host; it acts purely as a Bluetooth HID peripheral, and Linux HID hosts of this era accepted HID connections from unbonded peers. All required actions are ordinary HIDP protocol traffic.\nUI:N - The HIDP session is established and torn down by the Bluetooth daemon automatically in response to the peer's connection and its subsequent disconnect/unplug; no victim action is required at any point.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security authority, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - hidp_idle_timeout() reads pointer fields (intr_sock/ctrl_sock) out of the freed hidp_session and follows them, and the resulting UAF primitive over a plain-kfree'd heap object can be leveraged with heap grooming to disclose arbitrary kernel memory.\nI:H - The callback writes EUNATCH through a pointer read from freed memory and performs wake_up_interruptible() on a waitqueue head taken from that freed object, giving both a controlled write and an indirect call through an attacker-groomable function pointer — sufficient for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The reported symptom is a kernel panic from the timer callback running against a freed session; any such use-after-free reliably oopses the kernel and can be triggered repeatedly by a nearby device."
