No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

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

Bluetooth: hci_sync: hold conn in hci_connect_acl/le_sync() callbacks

There is theoretical UAF if the conn is freed while the hci_sync task is running.

Hold refcount to avoid that.
