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

Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix UAF of hci_conn_params in add_device_complete

add_device_complete() runs from the hci_cmd_sync_work kworker, which holds only hci_req_sync_lock and not hci_dev_lock. It calls hci_conn_params_lookup() and then dereferences the returned object (params->flags) without taking hci_dev_lock:

params = hci_conn_params_lookup(hdev, &cp->addr.bdaddr,
                le_addr_type(cp->addr.type));
...
device_flags_changed(NULL, hdev, &cp->addr.bdaddr,
             cp->addr.type, hdev->conn_flags,
             params ? params->flags : 0);

hci_conn_params_lookup() walks hdev->le_conn_params and is documented to require hdev->lock. A concurrent MGMT_OP_REMOVE_DEVICE (remove_device()), which does run under hci_dev_lock, can call hci_conn_params_free() to list_del() and kfree() the very object the lookup returned, so the subsequent params->flags read touches freed memory [0].

Hold hci_dev_lock() across the hci_conn_params_lookup() and the read of params->flags (and the matching event emission) so the lookup result cannot be freed by a concurrent remove_device() before it is used, honouring the locking contract of hci_conn_params_lookup().
