Summary

A vulnerability has been identified and resolved in the Linux kernel. It concerns a potential use-after-free (UAF) in the set_cig_params_sync function related to Bluetooth connections.

Risk Assessment

Failure to properly lock access to hci_conn may lead to unpredictable system behavior, posing a risk of crashes or security breaches.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to patch this vulnerability and ensure proper access locks for hci_conn.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_conn: fix potential UAF in set_cig_params_sync hci_conn lookup and field access must be covered by hdev lock in set_cig_params_sync, otherwise it's possible it is freed concurrently. Take hdev lock to prevent hci_conn from being deleted or modified concurrently. Just RCU lock is not suitable here, as we also want to avoid "tearing" in the configuration.
