However, there is no check that i stays within ev->num_bis\nbefore the array access.\n\nWhen a controller sends a LE_Create_BIG_Complete event with fewer\nbis_handle entries than there are BT_BOUND connections for that BIG,\nor with num_bis=0, the loop reads beyond the valid bis_handle[] flex\narray into adjacent heap memory.  Since the out-of-bounds values\ntypically exceed HCI_CONN_HANDLE_MAX (0x0EFF), hci_conn_set_handle()\nrejects them and the connection remains in BT_BOUND state.  The same\nconnection is then found again by hci_conn_hash_lookup_big_state(),\ncreating an infinite loop with hci_dev_lock held.\n\nFix this by terminating the BIG if in case not all BIS could be
