CVE-2023-53762 — Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF in hci_disconnect_all_sync

Affected: Linux

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

Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF in hci_disconnect_all_sync

Use-after-free can occur in hci_disconnect_all_sync if a connection is deleted by concurrent processing of a controller event.

To prevent this the code now tries to iterate over the list backwards to ensure the links are cleanup before its parents, also it no longer relies on a cursor, instead it always uses the last element since hci_abort_conn_sync is guaranteed to call hci_conn_del.
