In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: vhci: Prevent use-after-free by removing debugfs files early
Move the creation of debugfs files into a dedicated function, and ensure
they are explicitly removed during vhci_release(), before associated
data structures are freed.
Previously, debugfs files such as "force_suspend", "force_wakeup", and
others were created under hdev->debugfs but not removed in
vhci_release(). Since vhci_release() frees the backing vhci_data
structure, any access to these files after release would result in
use-after-free errors.
Although hdev->debugfs is later freed in hci_release_dev(), user can
access files after vhci_data is freed but before hdev->debugfs is
released.
