+Subject: Bluetooth: hci_conn: fix potential UAF in create_big_sync
+
+From: David Carlier <devnexen@gmail.com>
+
+[ Upstream commit 0beddb0c380bed5f5b8e61ddbe14635bb73d0b41 ]
+
+Add hci_conn_valid() check in create_big_sync() to detect stale
+connections before proceeding with BIG creation. Handle the
+resulting -ECANCELED in create_big_complete() and re-validate the
+connection under hci_dev_lock() before dereferencing, matching the
+pattern used by create_le_conn_complete() and create_pa_complete().
+
+Keep the hci_conn object alive across the async boundary by taking
+a reference via hci_conn_get() when queueing create_big_sync(), and
+dropping it in the completion callback. The refcount and the lock
+are complementary: the refcount keeps the object allocated, while
+hci_dev_lock() serializes hci_conn_hash_del()'s list_del_rcu() on
+hdev->conn_hash, as required by hci_conn_del().
+
+hci_conn_put() is called outside hci_dev_unlock() so the final put
+(which resolves to kfree() via bt_link_release) does not run under
+hdev->lock, though the release path would be safe either way.
+
+Without this, create_big_complete() would unconditionally
+dereference the conn pointer on error, causing a use-after-free
+via hci_connect_cfm() and hci_conn_del().
