Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_conn: Fix UAF in hci_enhanced_setup_sync
This checks if the ACL connection remains valid as it could be destroyed
while hci_enhanced_setup_sync is pending on cmd_sync leading to the
following trace:
