How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel-tools-libs-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools-libs-devel package and not the kernel-tools-libs-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

Bluetooth: ISO: lock sk in iso_connect_ind

Accessing iso_pi(sk)->conn requires lock_sock, which is not taken in the "ev3" part of iso_connect_ind. It may also be NULL if socket has transitioned away from the LISTEN/CONNECT states before locking.

Fix by adding lock/release. Recheck hcon is valid after lock acquire where needed.
