Bluetooth: ISO: Fix a use-after-free of the hci_conn pointer

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 09.06.2026 Published: 25.06.2026 Updated: 25.06.2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: ISO: Fix a use-after-free of the hci_conn pointer

In iso_sock_rebind_bc(), the bis pointer is cached, then the socket lock is dropped: bis = iso_pi(sk)->conn->hcon; / Release the socket before lookups since that requires hci_dev_lock * which shall not be acquired while holding sock_lock for proper * ordering. / release_sock(sk); hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev);

During the unlocked window, could a concurrent close() destroy the connection and free the bis structure, causing hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev) to access memory after it is freed, fix this by using the hdev reference which was safely acquired via iso_conn_get_hdev().
