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

Bluetooth: hci_event: call disconnect callback before deleting conn

In hci_cs_disconnect, we do hci_conn_del even if disconnection failed.

ISO, L2CAP and SCO connections refer to the hci_conn without hci_conn_get, so disconn_cfm must be called so they can clean up their conn, otherwise use-after-free occurs.
