CVE-2024-54191

Technical Description

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

Bluetooth: iso: Fix circular lock in iso_conn_big_sync

This fixes the circular locking dependency warning below, by reworking

iso_sock_recvmsg, to ensure that the socket lock is always released

before calling a function that locks hdev.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
