In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: Fix race condition in accept_queue lifecycle
In nfc_llcp_socket_release(), sockets and listener accept queues are walked under the local sockets rwlock and bh_lock_sock(). However, bh_lock_sock() does not synchronise against process-context lock_sock() held by nfc_llcp_accept_dequeue() during accept(). Because socket_release() does not check sock_owned_by_user(), both paths can concurrently unlink and release the same child socket, resulting in use-after-free or a NULL pointer dereference of child->parent in nfc_llcp_accept_unlink().
Fix this synchronisation race by having nfc_llcp_socket_release() use process-context lock_sock() instead of bh_lock_sock():
Pop sockets from the local sockets list under the write lock using nfc_llcp_sock_list_pop() so lock_sock() can be acquired without holding the rwlock.
Because lock_sock() can sleep, defer the final release of the nfc_llcp_local structure to a workqueue (release_work). This avoids a sleeping-in-atomic bug when the last local reference is dropped from softirq context. Additionally, hold a single device reference on local from registration until final destruction.
In nfc_llcp_local_get(), use kref_get_unless_zero() to prevent resurrecting a local object whose teardown has been scheduled.
In llcp_sock_accept(), verify that the listener socket state is still LLCP_LISTEN after waking from schedule_timeout() to prevent hangs if the listener is closed concurrently.
When unlinking unaccepted child sockets during listener release, unlink them from local->sockets, call sock_orphan(), and drop their initial sk_alloc creation reference via sock_put().
Make nfc_llcp_accept_unlink() idempotent by guarding parent access with a NULL check.
