Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-25 10:09:10 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: ISO: Fix a use-after-free of the hci_conn pointer

In iso_sock_rebind_bc(), the bis pointer is cached, then the socket lock is
dropped:
	bis = iso_pi(sk)->conn->hcon;
	/* Release the socket before lookups since that requires hci_dev_lock
	 * which shall not be acquired while holding sock_lock for proper
	 * ordering.
	 */
	release_sock(sk);
	hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev);

During the unlocked window, could a concurrent close() destroy the connection
and free the bis structure, causing hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev) to access memory
after it is freed, fix this by using the hdev reference which was safely
acquired via iso_conn_get_hdev().
