Subject: CVE-2025-39982: Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix UAF in hci_acl_create_conn_sync
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix UAF in hci_acl_create_conn_sync
This fixes the following UFA in hci_acl_create_conn_sync where a
connection still pending is command submission (conn->state == BT_OPEN)
maybe freed, also since this also can happen with the likes of
hci_le_create_conn_sync fix it as well:

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
