In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free in l2capunregisteruser
After commit ab4eedb790ca ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix corrupted list in hcichandel"), l2capconndel() uses conn->lock to protect access to conn->users. However, l2capregisteruser() and l2capunregisteruser() don't use conn->lock, creating a race condition where these functions can access conn->users and conn->hchan concurrently with l2capconndel().
This can lead to use-after-free and list corruption bugs, as reported by syzbot.
Fix this by changing l2capregisteruser() and l2capunregisteruser() to use conn->lock instead of hcidevlock(), ensuring consistent locking for the l2cap_conn structure.
