In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: ecred_reconfigure: send packed pdu, not stack pointer
Commit 1c08108f3014 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end
warnings") converted the on-stack request PDU in l2cap_ecred_reconfigure()
from an explicit packed struct to DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(), but did not adjust the
size and source-pointer arguments to l2cap_send_cmd():
- struct {
- struct l2cap_ecred_reconf_req req;
- __le16 scid;
- } pdu;
+ DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(struct l2cap_ecred_reconf_req, pdu, scid, 1);
...
l2cap_send_cmd(conn, chan->ident, L2CAP_ECRED_RECONF_REQ,
sizeof(pdu), &pdu);
After the conversion, DEFINE_RAW_FLEX() expands to declare an anonymous
union pdu_u plus a local pointer "pdu" pointing at it. Therefore:
- sizeof(pdu) is now sizeof(struct l2cap_ecred_reconf_req *) = 8 on
64-bit (4 on 32-bit), not the 6 bytes of (mtu, mps, scid[1]).
- &pdu is the address of the local pointer's stack storage, not the
address of the request payload.
l2cap_send_cmd() forwards (data, count) to l2cap_build_cmd(), which calls
skb_put_data(skb, data, count). The L2CAP_ECRED_RECONFIGURE_REQ packet
body therefore contains 8 bytes copied from the kernel stack starting at
&pdu -- the 8 bytes overlap the pdu pointer's value, leaking a kernel
stack address to the paired Bluetooth peer. The intended (mtu, mps, scid)
fields are not transmitted at all, so the peer rejects the request as
malformed and the L2CAP_ECRED_RECONFIGURE feature itself has been broken
for the local-side initiator since the introducing commit landed.
The sibling site l2cap_ecred_conn_req() in the same commit was converted
correctly (sizeof(*pdu) + len, pdu); only this site was missed.
Restore the original semantics: pass the full flex-struct size via
struct_size(pdu, scid, 1) and the pdu pointer (the struct address) as
the source.
Validated on a stock 7.0-based host kernel via the real call path:
setsockopt(SOL_BLUETOOTH, BT_RCVMTU, ...) on a BT_CONNECTED
L2CAP_MODE_EXT_FLOWCTL socket emits an L2CAP_ECRED_RECONFIGURE_REQ
whose body is 8 bytes (the on-stack pdu local's value) rather than
the expected 6. Three captures from fresh socket / fresh hciemu peer
on the same host -- low bytes vary per call, high 0xffff confirms a
kernel virtual address (KASLR-randomised stack slot, not a fixed
string):
RECONF_REQ body (ident=0x02 len=8): 42 fb 54 af 0e ca ff ff
RECONF_REQ body (ident=0x02 len=8): 52 3d 2e af 0e ca ff ff
RECONF_REQ body (ident=0x02 len=8): b2 fc 5b af 0e ca ff ff
After this patch the body is 6 bytes carrying the expected
little-endian (mtu, mps, scid).
