Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 6.12.114, 6.12, 7.1.8 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') due to a race condition in the handling of iso_data within the Bluetooth ISO subsystem, specifically when concurrent operations occur between iso_recv and iso_conn_free processes. An attacker can achieve kernel memory corruption, information disclosure, or privilege escalation by racing the receipt of ISO data packets against the teardown of ISO connections, leading to use-after-free scenarios.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
