What it is

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

Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix race in hci_cmd_sync_dequeue_once

hci_cmd_sync_dequeue_once() does lookup and then cancel

the entry under two separate lock sections. Meanwhile,

hci_cmd_sync_work() can also delete the same entry,

leading to double list_del() and "UAF".

Fix this by holding cmd_sync_work_lock across both

lookup and cancel, so that the entry cannot be removed

concurrently.
