Subject: [PATCH v3] Bluetooth: hci_conn: fix potential UAF in create_big_sync
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:13:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410201343.229470-1-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)

From: David Carlier <devnexen@gmail.com>

Add hci_conn_valid() check in create_big_sync() to detect stale
connections before proceeding with BIG creation. Fix
create_big_complete() to handle the resulting -ECANCELED error
and validate the connection under hci_dev_lock() before
dereferencing, following the established pattern used by
create_le_conn_complete() and create_pa_complete().

Without this, create_big_complete() would unconditionally
dereference the stale conn pointer on error, causing a
use-after-free via hci_connect_cfm() and hci_conn_del().

Fixes: eca0ae4aea66 ("Bluetooth: Add initial implementation of BIS connections")
