Hi Greg, Sasha, and Bluetooth maintainers,
I am backporting CVEss still missing from 6.1.y.
This pair handles CVE-2023-53762 in disconnect-all cleanup. The
second patch is the immediate upstream liveness follow-up to the UAF fix,
so I kept the two together.
Both changes are already inherited by v6.6 and every later mainline
release.
Could you please queue the pair for 6.1.y?
Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
AI assistance: An LLM helped find the missing CVE fix, adapt
it, and prepare the draft; I reviewed the code and build output.

[ Upstream commit 94d9ba9f9888b748d4abd2aa1547af56ae85f772 ]
Use-after-free can occur in hci_disconnect_all_sync if a connection is
deleted by concurrent processing of a controller event.
To prevent this the code now tries to iterate over the list backwards
to ensure the links are cleanup before its parents, also it no longer
relies on a cursor, instead it always uses the last element since
hci_abort_conn_sync is guaranteed to call hci_conn_del.

[ Upstream commit a239110ee8e0b0aafa265f0d54f7a16744855e70 ]
In hci_abort_conn_sync it is possible that conn is deleted concurrently
by something else, also e.g. when waiting for hdev->lock. This causes
double deletion of the conn, so UAF or conn_hash.list corruption.
Fix by having all code paths check that the connection is still in
conn_hash before deleting it, while holding hdev->lock which prevents
any races.
Log (when powering off while BAP streaming, occurs rarely):
