This problem occurs because the HCI_EV_CONN_COMPLETE event packet is sent
twice for the same HCI connection,

struct hci_ev_conn_complete complete;
memset(&complete, 0, sizeof(complete));
complete.status = 0;
complete.handle = HCI_HANDLE_1;
memset(&complete.bdaddr, 0xaa, 6);
*(uint8_t*)&complete.bdaddr.b[5] = 0x10;
complete.link_type = ACL_LINK;
complete.encr_mode = 0;
hci_send_event_packet(vhci_fd, HCI_EV_CONN_COMPLETE, &complete,
sizeof(complete));

which leads to kobject_add being called twice. Thus duplicate
(struct hci_conn *conn)->dev.kobj.entry is inserted into
(struct hci_conn *conn)->dev.kobj.kset->list.

But if it's the HCI connection creator's responsibility to
not send the HCI_EV_CONN_COMPLETE event packet twice, then it's not a
valid bug. Or should we make the kernel more robust by defending against
this case?

Hi Coiby,

Whoever is sending HCI_EV_CONN_COMPLETE, this should not corrupt
kernel memory. Even if it's firmware, it's not necessary trusted, see:
https://www.blackhat.com/us-20/briefings/schedule/index.html#finding-new-bluetooth-low-energy-exploits-via-reverse-engineering-multiple-vendors-firmwares-19655
and:
https://www.armis.com/bleedingbit/
So if an attacker takes over firmware, they can then corrupt kernel memory.

Thank you for sharing the links. Although I haven't found out how exactly
this "list_add double add" corruption would be exploited by an attacker
in the two resources or on the Internet (the closest one I can find is
CVE-2019-2215 which exploits list_del with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST disabled),
this should be an interesting bug and I'll learn more about Bluetooth to
fix it.

do you have a btmon trace for this happening?

And instead of doing papering over a hole, I would rather detect that the HCI event is not valid since we already received one for this connection.

Please see the attachment "btmon_output" which is a plain text file.
I couldn't find a way to save traces in btsnoop format (the kernel would
panic immediately after running the re-producer before QEMU has a chance
to write the btsnoop file to the disk image).

I've also also attached a simplified re-producer rep9_min.c if it interests you.

To check conn->debugfs is what I think could be used to detect this
duplicate HCI event. Or you are suggesting this is not sufficient
and implement something like a state machine instead?
