Description
===========

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

Bluetooth: ISO: avoid deadlocks in iso_sock_timeout

iso_sock_timeout() takes lock_sock, so sync disabling the timer while
holding that lock may deadlock.

iso_sock_timeout() may also run concurrently with iso_conn_del(), which
leads to UAF

        [Task 1]                      [Task hdev->workqueue]
        iso_sock_timeout              iso_conn_del
          iso_conn_hold_unless_zero     iso_chan_del
                           `------------> iso_conn_put
                                      caller frees hcon
          iso_conn_put
            iso_conn_free
              conn->hcon->iso_data = NULL; /* UAF */

Fix the deadlock by removing the disable from the lock_sock sections.
Move the timer from iso_conn to iso_pinfo to decouple it from iso_conn
which may need to be freed in lock_sock section. Convert some of the
clear_timer to disable_timer.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74535 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
