In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: Avoid use-after-free in dbg for hci_remove_adv_monitor()
KASAN reports that there's a use-after-free in
hci_remove_adv_monitor(). Trawling through the disassembly, you can
see that the complaint is from the access in bt_dev_dbg() under the
HCI_ADV_MONITOR_EXT_MSFT case. The problem case happens because
msft_remove_monitor() can end up freeing the monitor
structure. Specifically:
hci_remove_adv_monitor() ->
msft_remove_monitor() ->
msft_remove_monitor_sync() ->
msft_le_cancel_monitor_advertisement_cb() ->
hci_free_adv_monitor()
Let's fix the problem by just stashing the relevant data when it's
still valid.
