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

Bluetooth: l2cap: fix null-ptr-deref in l2cap_chan_timeout

There is a race condition between l2cap_chan_timeout() and
l2cap_chan_del(). When we use l2cap_chan_del() to delete the
channel, the chan->conn will be set to null. But the conn could
be dereferenced again in the mutex_lock() of l2cap_chan_timeout().
As a result the null pointer dereference bug will happen. The
KASAN report triggered by POC is shown below:
