Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. This vulnerability, a Use-After-Free (UAF), exists within the Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) passkey handlers. It occurs when `hci_conn` lookup and field access are performed without proper locking, allowing a connection to be freed concurrently. This could potentially enable a local attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
