Oops, sorry for the delay here. I just forgot to check the mails.

This comment is right, when I submit this patch I mentioned that the replacement of this lock can hang the detaching routine because it needs to wait the release of the lock_sock().

But this does no harm in my testing. In fact, the relevant code can only be executed when removing the controller. I think it can wait for the lock. Moreover, this patch can fix the potential UAF indeed.

> may need further discussion. (wrote in previous mail list

Welcome the additional advise on this. Does this really broken the lock principle?

By checking the source code, I found that there are following positions that will access the hci_sk_list.lock

1. void hci_send_to_sock(struct hci_dev *hdev, struct sk_buff *skb)
2. void hci_send_to_channel(unsigned short channel, struct sk_buff *skb,
			 int flag, struct sock *skip_sk)
3. void hci_send_monitor_ctrl_event(struct hci_dev *hdev, u16 event,
				 void *data, u16 data_len, ktime_t tstamp,
				 int flag, struct sock *skip_sk)
4. static void send_monitor_control_replay(struct sock *mon_sk)
And this discussed one
5. void hci_sock_dev_event(struct hci_dev *hdev, int event)

Assuming the hci_sk_list.lock is held by the cleanup routine. I don't think other possible functions will necessarily busy waiting this lock.

In another word, these lock requiring events won't be normal. For example, the hci_send_to_sock() function is not assumed to be awakened when the controller is going to be removed. The attacker may intend to do this, however, it seems that he can only hang the kernel by keeping the userfaultfd page. Because he cannot trigger the UAF for now, he won't gain any benefit for hanging the hci_sock_dev_event() function. After the attacker release the userfaultfd page and the hci_send_to_sock() moves on, the hci_sk_list.lock will be hence released as expected.

In summary, I think that: even the hci_sk_list.lock is held and the hci_send_to_sock() functions sleep, it should not have any bad effect as this appearance can only take place in the controller removal routine. Welcome for the further suggestions.

Best Regards

Lin Ma

Oh my god, I didn't turn the CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP on as you did when testing this patch. I was puzzled at that time why my userfaultfd process can keep the lock and totally stuck the device removal routine without any kernel WARNING.

My bad, it seems that this patch is not a very good one. I can also get following logs when executing the POC code.

The original bug details is already presented: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/06/08/2

In short, the hci_sock_dev_event() function is supposed to wait for other bound ioctl functions (like hci_sock_bound_ioctl) to leave before releasing the hdev using hci_dev_put(hdev).
I replace the lock from bh_lock_sock_nested to lock_sock() for this.

However, it seems that this patch breaks the rule and we have to figure out a better one. T^T
(I just hope this patch won't introduce any security impacts but just this warning BUG, at least it will help with the previous UAF one)

My direct idea is to replace the hci_sk_list.lock to another sleep-able lock too. Or we have to craft the logic to allow the HCI_DEV_UNREG event to signal other functions to abandon the lock. I'm going to working on this, and hope to get some suggestions just like before.

And Greg, really sorry to submit this not properly tested patch. Please pardon me for this unintended mistake. :(

Lin Ma

Out of curiosity (since I'm seeing this warning a lot), I turned on
some of the various lock debugging options, and get the following:

               other info that might help us debug this:

[  171.251155]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[  171.251163]   lock(hci_sk_list.lock);
[  171.251168]

[  171.251181]
                *** DEADLOCK ***

It looks like there's a potential deadlock between hci_sock_sendmsg()
and hci_sock_dev_event(). In particular:
hci_sock_sendmsg(channel == HCI_CHANNEL_LOGGING) acquires lock_sock(sk);
-> hci_logging_frame()
-> hci_send_to_channel() acquires read_lock(&hci_sk_list.lock);

and:
hci_sock_dev_event() acquires read_lock(&hci_sk_list.lock); then lock_sock(sk);

Granted, this is likely very rare. But I think it is still a concern.
