AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The vendor advisory from Ubuntu (USN-8726-1) confirms that this issue has been fixed. Users should update their Linux kernel to the patched versions provided by their distribution to mitigate this vulnerability.
Description
A data-race vulnerability in the Linux kernel Bluetooth ISO subsystem was fixed. The issue involved concurrent access to iso_pi fields in hci_get_route calls without proper locking, leading to potential data races detected by KCSAN. This flaw could occur during socket operations such as connect() or setsockopt() on the same socket. The vulnerability was addressed by snapshotting the relevant fields under lock_sock() before use. Multiple specific Linux kernel versions are affected. A patch is available from the vendor.
