  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: hci_sync: Fix advertising data UAFs\n\nhci_find_adv_instance() returns an adv_info pointer that is valid only\nwhile hdev-\u003elock is held.  The advertising command-sync paths perform\ninstance lookups without that lock and, in some cases, retain the pointer\nwhile waiting for a controller response.\n\nAn advertising termination event can therefore interleave as follows:\n\n  hci_cmd_sync_work                 hci_rx_work\n  hci_find_adv_instance()\n  __hci_cmd_sync_status()\n    wait for controller reply       hci_dev_lock()\n                                    hci_remove_adv_instance()\n                                      kfree(adv)\n  adv-\u003escan_rsp_changed = false\n\nKASAN reported:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_set_ext_scan_rsp_data_sync+0x2e1/0x300\n  Write of size 1 at addr ffff88810a45d21d by task kworker/u17:0/88\n  Workqueue: hci0 hci_cmd_sync_work\n  Call Trace:\n   hci_set_ext_scan_rsp_data_sync+0x2e1/0x300\n   hci_schedule_adv_instance_sync+0x390/0x4c0\n   hci_cmd_sync_work+0x173/0x300\n  Allocated by task 87:\n   hci_add_adv_instance+0x538/0xac0\n   add_advertising+0x885/0x1160\n  Freed by task 89:\n   kfree+0x131/0x3c0\n   hci_remove_adv_instance+0x1d8/0x3b0\n   hci_le_ext_adv_term_evt+0x17b/0x730\n\nProtect the instance lookup and payload construction in the extended\nadvertising, scan response, and periodic advertising data paths.

Likewise, update the\nreported transmit power through a fresh lookup after the parameter command\ncompletes.  No adv_info pointer then survives an HCI command wait.",
