Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix ERTM re-init and zero pdu_len infinite loop
l2cap_config_req() processes CONFIG_REQ for channels in BT_CONNECTED
state to support L2CAP reconfiguration (e.g. MTU changes). However,
since both CONF_INPUT_DONE and CONF_OUTPUT_DONE are already set from
the initial configuration, the reconfiguration path falls through to
l2cap_ertm_init(), which re-initializes tx_q, srej_q, srej_list, and
retrans_list without freeing the previous allocations and sets
chan->sdu to NULL without freeing the existing skb. This leaks all
previously allocated ERTM resources.
Additionally, l2cap_parse_conf_req() does not validate the minimum
value of remote_mps derived from the RFC max_pdu_size option. A zero
value propagates to l2cap_segment_sdu() where pdu_len becomes zero,
causing the while loop to never terminate since len is never
decremented, exhausting all available memory.
Fix the double-init by skipping l2cap_ertm_init() and
l2cap_chan_ready() when the channel is already in BT_CONNECTED state,
while still allowing the reconfiguration parameters to be updated
through l2cap_parse_conf_req(). Also add a pdu_len zero check in
l2cap_segment_sdu() as a safeguard.
