Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Bluetooth: vhci: Prevent use-after-free by removing debugfs files early<br />
<br />
Move the creation of debugfs files into a dedicated function, and ensure<br />
they are explicitly removed during vhci_release(), before associated<br />
data structures are freed.<br />
<br />
Previously, debugfs files such as "force_suspend", "force_wakeup", and<br />
others were created under hdev->debugfs but not removed in<br />
vhci_release(). Since vhci_release() frees the backing vhci_data<br />
structure, any access to these files after release would result in<br />
use-after-free errors.<br />
<br />
Although hdev->debugfs is later freed in hci_release_dev(), user can<br />
access files after vhci_data is freed but before hdev->debugfs is<br />
released.
