In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci sync: Fix accept list UAF during suspend
hci update event filter sync() walks hdev->accept list while sending a synchronous HCI command for each remote-wakeup device. The suspend path holds hdev->req lock, but accept-list updates are serialized by hdev->lock. Consequently, remove device() can free the current list entry during the controller wait.
The following interleaving causes the use-after-free:
hci update event filter sync() remove device() fetch accept-list entry hci set event filter sync() wait for controller response hci dev lock() list del() kfree() hci dev unlock() read the freed list.next
KASAN reported:

Snapshot the remote-wakeup addresses under hdev->lock. Release the lock before sending HCI commands. Clear the controller event filter before building the snapshot, and skip allocation and the second list traversal when there are no matching entries. This preserves the original filter and scan-state updates without retaining an accept-list node across a controller wait.
