Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix UAF in hci_acl_create_conn_sync<br />
<br />
This fixes the following UFA in hci_acl_create_conn_sync where a<br />
connection still pending is command submission (conn->state == BT_OPEN)<br />
maybe freed, also since this also can happen with the likes of<br />
hci_le_create_conn_sync fix it as well:<br />
