CVE-2024-57894 Affecting kernel-doc package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context

This reworks hci_cb_list to not use mutex hci_cb_list_lock to avoid bugs like the bellow:
