Linux Kernel Bluetooth Memory Leak Vulnerability in hci_conn Component

A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel. The issue arises in the hci_cmd_sync_queue() function when it fails during the hci_le_terminate_big() or hci_le_big_terminate() processes. In these scenarios, the memory referenced by variable 'd' is not properly released, leading to a memory leak. The vulnerability has been addressed by adding a release process to the error handling path.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability leads to memory leaks, which can cause increased memory usage and potentially degrade system performance over time.
