Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53357)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() and bt_accept_dequeue() in the Bluetooth L2CAP socket handling code when racing listen socket cleanup with a concurrent HCI disconnect. A local user can trigger a listen/close versus HCI-disconnect race to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs during cleanup of not-yet-accepted child sockets on a listening socket.
