Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64178)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 1.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the bnep_add_connection function when reading dev->name during connection setup while a concurrent connection deletion tears down the net_device. A local privileged user can trigger concurrent bnep_add_connection and bnep_del_connection operations to disclose sensitive information.

Exploitation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN and a tight race window during net_device teardown.
