What it is

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

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix slab-use-after-free Read in l2cap_send_cmd

After the hci sync command releases l2cap_conn, the hci receive data work

queue references the released l2cap_conn when sending to the upper layer.

Add hci dev lock to the hci receive data work queue to synchronize the two.
