  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: MGMT: revalidate
    LOAD_CONN_PARAM queued update MGMT_OP_LOAD_CONN_PARAM queues conn_update_sync() when a single parameter
    update changes an existing LE central connection. The queued work currently stores a borrowed
    hci_conn_params entry from hdev->le_conn_params. A later LOAD_CONN_PARAM request can clear disabled
    parameters and free that entry before hci_cmd_sync_work() runs the queued callback. Do not keep the
    borrowed hci_conn_params pointer in queued work. Queue the hci_conn instead and hold a reference until the
    queued callback completes. When the work runs, revalidate that the connection is still present, look up
    the current hci_conn_params entry, and cancel the update if userspace removed that entry while the work
    was pending. Copy the interval values from the current params entry under hdev->lock, then drop the lock
    and keep using hci_le_conn_update_sync() to issue the update. Validation reproduced this kernel report:
