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

Bluetooth: fix dangling sco_conn and use-after-free in sco_sock_timeout

Connecting the same socket twice consecutively in sco_sock_connect()

could lead to a race condition where two sco_conn objects are created

but only one is associated with the socket. If the socket is closed

before the SCO connection is established, the timer associated with the

dangling sco_conn object won't be canceled. As the sock object is being

freed, the use-after-free problem happens when the timer callback

function sco_sock_timeout() accesses the socket. Here's the call trace:
