[PATCH v3 1/7] Bluetooth: hci_conn: hold conn reference in abort_conn_sync()
From: Pauli Virtanen
Date: Sun Jun 28 2026 - 08:13:45 EST
There is theoretical UAF if the conn is freed while the hci_sync task is
running.
Hold refcount to avoid that.
Fixes: 227a0cdf4a02 ("Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix not generating command complete for MGMT_OP_DISCONNECT")
