If 6 L2CAP sockets\nare connected at the same time in order DDDDND (D=deferred,\nN=non-deferred), the last can bump the total to max+1.  It results to\none __le16 written out of bounds of the scid array, and an invalid\nECRED_CONN_REQ being sent.\n\nFix by leaving room for the non-deferred pending ECRED channels in the\ncounting in l2cap_chan_connect(), so the limit can't be exceeded.\n\nMove counting under same critical section where the channel is added.\nAlthough race conditions involving this appear unreachable, it's easier\nto see.\n\nAlso add WARN_ON_ONCE check in l2cap_ecred_defer_connect() to make this\nless brittle.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
