CVE-2024-54460: kernel: Bluetooth: iso: Fix circular lock in iso_listen_bis
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CWE: CWE-667 (Improper Locking)
CVSS v3: 5.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Public date: 2025-01-11T00:00:00+00:00

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

Bluetooth: iso: Fix circular lock in iso_listen_bis

This fixes the circular locking dependency warning below, by
releasing the socket lock before enterning iso_listen_bis, to
avoid any potential deadlock with hdev lock.
