## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix UAF of hci_conn_params in add_device_complete

add_device_complete() runs from the hci_cmd_sync_work kworker, which
holds only hci_req_sync_lock and *not* hci_dev_lock.  It calls
hci_conn_params_lookup() and then dereferences the returned object
(params->flags) without taking hci_dev_lock:

	params = hci_conn_params_lookup(hdev, &cp->addr.bdaddr,
					le_addr_type(cp->addr.type));
	...
	device_flags_changed(NULL, hdev, &cp->addr.bdaddr,
			     cp->addr.type, hdev->conn_flags,
			     params ? params->flags : 0);

hci_conn_params_lookup() walks hdev->le_conn_params and is documented to
require hdev->lock.  A concurrent MGMT_OP_REMOVE_DEVICE
(remove_device()), which does run under hci_dev_lock, can call
hci_conn_params_free() to list_del() and kfree() the very object the
lookup returned, so the subsequent params->flags read touches freed
memory [0].

Hold hci_dev_lock() across the hci_conn_params_lookup() and the read of
params->flags (and the matching event emission) so the lookup result
cannot be freed by a concurrent remove_device() before it is used,
honouring the locking contract of hci_conn_params_lookup().
