UBUNTU-CVE-2026-80666: Race Condition

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: sco: Fix a race condition in scosocktimeout() scosocktimeout() runs asynchronously and locksock(sk). If the socket is closing while the timer is running, it holds the same lock (locksock(sk)) twice, leading to a deadlock. CPU 0 CPU 1 ==================== ====================== scosockclose() scosocktimeout() locksock(sk) // <-- LOCK scosockclose() scochandel() scoconnput() scoconnfree() disabledelayedworksync() lock(sk) // <-- SAME LOCK Fix this by moving disabledelayedworksync() outside of locksock(sk), ensuring that no locksock(sk) is held before scosocktimeout().
