From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

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

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

Bluetooth: ISO: lock sk in iso_connect_ind

Accessing iso_pi(sk)->conn requires lock_sock, which is not taken in the
"ev3" part of iso_connect_ind.  It may also be NULL if socket has
transitioned away from the LISTEN/CONNECT states before locking.

Fix by adding lock/release. Recheck hcon is valid after lock acquire
where needed.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74538 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:
