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

Bluetooth: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by sco_sock_timeout

When the sco connection is established and then, the sco socket
is releasing, timeout_work will be scheduled to judge whether
the sco disconnection is timeout. The sock will be deallocated
later, but it is dereferenced again in sco_sock_timeout. As a
result, the use-after-free bugs will happen. The root cause is
shown below:

Cleanup Thread | Worker Thread
sco_sock_release |
sco_sock_close |
__sco_sock_close |
sco_sock_set_timer |
schedule_delayed_work |
sco_sock_kill | (wait a time)
sock_put(sk) //FREE | sco_sock_timeout
| sock_hold(sk) //USE

The KASAN report triggered by POC is shown below:
