{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53673","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  Bluetooth: hci_event: call disconnect callback before deleting conn  In hci_cs_disconnect, we do hci_conn_del even if disconnection failed.  ISO, L2CAP and SCO connections refer to the hci_conn without hci_conn_get, so disconn_cfm must be called so they can clean up their conn, otherwise use-after-free occurs.
