| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth ISO subsystem. A race condition between `iso_conn_del()` and `iso_chan_del()` functions can lead to a double-put of `iso_conn` objects. This can result in a Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability, potentially allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service or achieve arbitrary code execution.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix refcounting of iso_conn iso_conn_del() and iso_chan_del() have a race that results to double-put of iso_conn: [Task hdev->workqueue] [Task 2] iso_conn_del iso_chan_del iso_conn_hold_unless_zero iso_conn_lock iso_conn_lock conn->sk = NULL iso_conn_unlock sk = iso_sock_hold(conn) <---------ยด if (!sk) iso_conn_put iso_conn_put iso_conn_put /* UAF */ The extra put for !sk in iso_conn_del() is currently required since failing iso_chan_add() may leave iso_conn not associated with any sk. Fix by having iso_pi(sk)->conn own refcount when non-NULL, so iso_conn_del does not need to put it. Adjust the iso_conn_add() refcounting so that conn is put if it does not get associated with an sk.
