Bluetooth: ISO: fix refcounting of iso_conn

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 15.08.2026 Published: 15.08.2026 Updated: 15.08.2026

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

Bluetooth: ISO: fix refcounting of iso_conn

iso_conn_del() and iso_chan_del() have a race that results to double-put of iso_conn:

<pre>[Task hdev->workqueue] [Task 2] iso_conn_del iso_chan_del iso_conn_hold_unless_zero iso_conn_lock iso_conn_lock conn->sk = NULL iso_conn_unlock sk = iso_sock_hold(conn) <---------´ if (!sk) iso_conn_put iso_conn_put iso_conn_put /* UAF */ </pre>

The extra put for !sk in iso_conn_del() is currently required since failing iso_chan_add() may leave iso_conn not associated with any sk.

Fix by having iso_pi(sk)->conn own refcount when non-NULL, so iso_conn_del does not need to put it. Adjust the iso_conn_add() refcounting so that conn is put if it does not get associated with an sk.
