AI-suggested
A patch is available and has been released in multiple Linux kernel versions including 6.8.0-147.147, 6.8.0-1067.70, 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1, and others. Users and administrators should update to these fixed kernel versions to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official kernel updates.
Description
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel Bluetooth ISO subsystem in the iso_conn_big_sync() function. This occurs because the function drops and then re-acquires a socket lock but does not re-validate that the connection pointer is still valid, leading to a potential NULL dereference if the connection is torn down concurrently. This flaw affects certain Linux kernel versions and has been fixed in later releases.
