Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: Serialize local codec list cleanup
hci_dev_close_sync() clears hdev->local_codecs after releasing hdev->lock.
Codec list additions and both traversals in sco_sock_getsockopt() use that
lock, but the close path does not. A close and BT_CODEC query can therefore
interleave as follows:
hci_dev_close_sync() sco_sock_getsockopt()
hci_dev_lock()
fetch codec entry
hci_codec_list_clear()
kfree(entry)
read entry->id
The reader then accesses an entry which the close path has freed. KASAN

Take hdev->lock around the clear operation at its existing point in the
close path. This makes the clear wait for active readers and prevents a new
traversal until the list is empty without changing teardown ordering.
