Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sock: Prevent race in socket write iter and sock bind
There is a potential race condition between sock bind and socket write
iter. bind may free the same cmd via mgmt_pending before write iter sends
the cmd, just as syzbot reported in UAF[1].

UAF mentioned in [1].
