Summary

In the Linux kernel, a reference leak in the Bluetooth ISO subsystem occurs in iso_conn_ready() when child socket allocation fails, causing memory leak.

Risk Assessment

Memory leak can exhaust system resources, potentially leading to service or system failure.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that releases the parent socket reference on the error path.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: Fix parent socket leak in iso_conn_ready() iso_get_sock() returns the parent socket with a reference held, which is dropped by sock_put() once the child socket has been set up. The error path taken when iso_sock_alloc() fails only calls release_sock() and returns, leaking the reference and thus the parent socket itself. Drop the reference on that path as well.
