Description

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

Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF in le_read_features_complete

This fixes the following backtrace caused by hci_conn being freed
before le_read_features_complete but after
hci_le_read_remote_features_sync so hci_conn_del -> hci_cmd_sync_dequeue
is not able to prevent it:
