[ Upstream commit a85fb91e3d ]
syzbot reports a slab use-after-free in hci_conn_hash_flush [1].
After releasing an object using hci_conn_del_sysfs in the
hci_conn_cleanup function, releasing the same object again
using the hci_dev_put and hci_conn_put functions causes a double free.
Here's a simplified flow:
hci_conn_del_sysfs:
hci_dev_put
put_device
kobject_put
kref_put
kobject_release
kobject_cleanup
kfree_const
kfree(name)
hci_dev_put:
...
kfree(name)
hci_conn_put:
put_device
...
kfree(name)
This patch drop the hci_dev_put and hci_conn_put function
call in hci_conn_cleanup function, because the object is
freed in hci_conn_del_sysfs function.
This patch also fixes the refcounting in hci_conn_add_sysfs() and
hci_conn_del_sysfs() to take into account device_add() failures.
This fixes CVE-2023-28464.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
