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

Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix double free in 'hci_discovery_filter_clear()'

Function 'hci_discovery_filter_clear()' frees 'uuids' array and then
sets it to NULL. There is a tiny chance of the following race:

'hci_cmd_sync_work()'

'update_passive_scan_sync()'

'hci_update_passive_scan_sync()'

'hci_discovery_filter_clear()'
kfree(uuids);

<-------------------------preempted-------------------------------->
'start_service_discovery()'

'hci_discovery_filter_clear()'
kfree(uuids); // DOUBLE FREE

<-------------------------preempted-------------------------------->

uuids = NULL;

To fix it let's add locking around 'kfree()' call and NULL pointer
assignment. Otherwise the following backtrace fires:
