In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix UAF in l2cap_le_connect_rsp l2cap_le_connect_rsp() obtains a channel via __l2cap_get_chan_by_ident() but neither holds a reference nor uses l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero() before locking and operating on it. A concurrent l2cap_chan_del() triggered by a remote disconnect can free the channel between the lookup and l2cap_chan_lock(), causing a use-after-free. The BR/EDR counterpart l2cap_connect_rsp() and the sibling handler l2cap_le_command_rej() already use l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero() to safely hold a
