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

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_unregister_user

After commit ab4eedb790ca ('Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix corrupted list in
hci_chan_del'), l2cap_conn_del() uses conn->lock to protect access to
conn->users. However, l2cap_register_user() and l2cap_unregister_user()
don't use conn->lock, creating a race condition where these functions can
access conn->users and conn->hchan concurrently with l2cap_conn_del().

This can lead to use-after-free and list corruption bugs, as reported
by syzbot.

Fix this by changing l2cap_register_user() and l2cap_unregister_user()
to use conn->lock instead of hci_dev_lock(), ensuring consistent locking
for the l2cap_conn structure.
