NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by AlmaLinux.

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

Bluetooth: hci_sock: Prevent race in socket write iter and sock bind

There is a potential race condition between sock bind and socket write iter. bind may free the same cmd via mgmt_pending before write iter sends the cmd, just as syzbot reported in UAF[1].

Here we use hci_dev_lock to synchronize the two, thereby avoiding the UAF mentioned in [1].
