Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published
2026-08-28 06:52
Modified
2026-10-21 12:46
Severity ?
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_sync: hold conn in hci_connect_acl/le_sync() callbacks There is theoretical UAF if the conn is freed while the hci_sync task is running. Hold refcount to avoid that.

Kernel heap UAF within the Bluetooth stack enables local privilege escalation in the same kernel domain but does not cross VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundaries.\\nC:H - Freed struct hci_conn is dereferenced in hci_acl_create_conn_sync, hci_le_create_conn_sync, and create_le_conn_complete (e.g., conn-\u003epkt_type, conn-\u003edst, conn-\u003ele_conn_timeout), enabling slab reuse and arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\\nI:H - Post-free writes occur to conn fields (state, flags, timers) and function-pointer members (cleanup, connect_cfm_cb), providing groomable heap corruption suitable for arbitrary kernel write and code execution.\\nA:H - UAF during hci_cmd_sync_work on connection setup reliably causes kernel oops/panic and can be retriggered by repeated connect/abort cycles from adjacent or local attackers.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"d948e1ffa1d40240d5c81af6dcbcb87b39cb8d3c\", \"lessThan\": \"f0a544ef6e38e4063d0ed72ad83d6bf0f4e70805\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"881559af5f5c545f6828e7c74d79813eb886d523\", \"lessThan\": \"301a4e2e89313dee10f0e8cb084daedbbe4a3dce\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"881559af5f5c545f6828e7c74d79813eb886d523\", \"lessThan\": \"a4de6fc95b2f36967fc247ae51cad2171194f7cd\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"881559af5f5c545f6828e7c74d79813eb886d523\", \"lessThan\": \"9a77f296aff4b2ca5f2928ab3a3220c82d8b4074\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"881559af5f5c545f6828e7c74d79813eb886d523\", \"lessThan\": \"2f5d635ad5906b0235bc0c870e8beba3116e1e98\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"5dd0bd277a0a936708a33ecc447dce77a08cbde6\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.6.51\", \"lessThan\": \"6.6.160\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.8.9\", \"lessThan\": \"6.9\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"net/bluetooth/hci_sync.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.9\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.9\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.160\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.114\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.57\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.1.8\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.2\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"net/bluetooth/hci_sync.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f0a544ef6e38e4063d0ed72ad83d6bf0f4e70805\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/301a4e2e89313dee10f0e8cb084daedbbe4a3dce\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4de6fc95b2f36967fc247ae51cad2171194f7cd\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a77f296aff4b2ca5f2928ab3a3220c82d8b4074\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f5d635ad5906b0235bc0c870e8beba3116e1e98\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nBluetooth: hci_sync: hold conn in hci_connect_acl/le_sync() callbacks\\n\\nThere is theoretical UAF if the conn is freed while the hci_sync task\\nis running.\\n\\nHold refcount to avoid that.\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.160\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.6.51\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.12.114\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.9\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.18.57\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.9\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.1.8\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.9\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.2\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.9\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.8.9\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-10-21T12:46:52.785Z\"}}}",
