Title
Bluetooth: ISO: Reject concurrent BIS listener setup
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: Reject concurrent BIS listener setup
iso_sock_listen() drops the socket lock before calling iso_listen_bis()
to preserve the hdev->lock ordering. Two concurrent listen() calls on
the same broadcast socket can therefore both observe BT_BOUND. Caller
A can attach connA and release the locks, then caller B can acquire
them and attach connB before A publishes BT_LISTEN.
__iso_chan_add() checks whether connB already has a socket, but not
whether the socket already has a connection. The second attachment
overwrites iso_pi(sk)->conn, leaking the connA reference and leaving
connA->sk intact. Socket teardown follows connB, so later events on
connA can cause a stale socket access.
Recheck BT_BOUND and require iso_pi(sk)->conn to be NULL after taking
both the HCI device and socket locks in iso_listen_bis(). The connection
check also covers the interval between attachment and publication of
BT_LISTEN. Reject a competing setup with -EBADFD through the existing
unlock path before allocating another connection.
A recorded KASAN report from an instrumented kernel shows:

"value": "AV:L - The bad state is created by one process issuing two concurrent listen() syscalls on the same bound BTPROTO_ISO socket; __sys_listen_socket() reaches iso_sock_listen() and the patched iso_listen_bis(). An HCI disconnect only consumes the stranded connA-\u003esk, so an adjacent peer cannot create the race alone.\nAC:L - Attacker threads control both listen() calls and can make each observe BT_BOUND before either publishes BT_LISTEN, causing hci_pa_create_sync() to create separate candidates. The attacker can close the socket and end its own broadcast/sync to drive teardown, without victim-controlled timing.\nPR:L - bt_sock_create(), iso_sock_create(), iso_sock_bind(), and iso_sock_listen() contain no capable() or ns_capable() check, so an ordinary process in init_net can create and race the socket. A separate network namespace is rejected, but no user namespace or capability is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker creates and binds the ISO socket, launches both listen() calls, and closes it; the later HCI callback is asynchronous kernel/controller work. No victim action is required.\nS:U - iso_conn_del() corrupts memory within the same host kernel that implements the attacker\u0027s ISO socket; the path crosses no VM, IOMMU, or other security authority boundary.\nC:H - After iso_pi(sk)-\u003econn is overwritten, connA retains connA-\u003esk and iso_sock_hold() can refcount a freed or reclaimed kmalloc-2k struct iso_pinfo. Exploiting the ensuing callback-capable socket operations permits control-flow hijack and arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - iso_conn_del() passes the stale sk to iso_chan_del(), which writes sk_state and sk_err and invokes sk_state_change or parent-\u003esk_data_ready. Reclaiming the freed object can turn these operations into arbitrary writes or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - KASAN observed the slab use-after-free in iso_sock_hold() from hci_disconn_complete_evt() after iso_sock_release() freed the socket. Invalid refcount, locking, and callback accesses can cause a kernel oops or panic."
