[PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_sock: fix negative cookie IDA free and short event OOB read

From: Hui Peng

Date: Sat Sep 19 2026 - 18:22:06 EST


In hci_sock_release(), check hci_pi(sk)->cookie > 0 before calling
ida_free(&sock_cookie_ida, ...) so an unallocated or error cookie does
not trigger a negative IDA index warning, and in hci_sock_sendmsg() /
hci_send_to_channel(), validate skb->len before reading HCI event
headers.
