Recommendation: Monitor — no exploitation signal at the moment.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix locking in hci_conn_request_evt() with HCI_PROTO_DEFER
When protocol sets HCI_PROTO_DEFER, hci_conn_request_evt() calls
hci_connect_cfm(conn) without hdev->lock. Generally hci_connect_cfm()
assumes it is held, and if conn is deleted concurrently -> UAF.
Only SCO and ISO set HCI_PROTO_DEFER and only for defer setup listen,
and HCI_EV_CONN_REQUEST is not generated for ISO. In the non-deferred
listening socket code paths, hci_connect_cfm(conn) is called with
hdev->lock held.
Fix by holding the lock.
