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

Bluetooth: hci_core: Serialize ACL scheduling with channel deletion

hci_chan_sent() selects a channel under RCU but drops the read lock before
accessing chan->conn and returning the channel. The ACL and LE schedulers
then use its packet queue and update its transmit counters without any
protection against channel deletion.

After TX selects a channel and releases RCU, a disconnect command timeout
on the separate request workqueue can run hci_conn_failed() and
l2cap_conn_del(). hci_chan_del() can then unlink the channel, complete
synchronize_rcu(), purge its queue and free it before TX resumes. This
causes use-after-free both in hci_chan_sent() and in its callers.

KASAN reported:

Hold the existing device mutex across channel selection and transmission
in both schedulers to serialize them with channel teardown. Keep timeout
handling outside the critical sections because hci_link_tx_to() acquires
the same mutex. This also permits the transmit path to sleep, unlike
extending the RCU read-side critical section across packet submission.
