Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63976)

CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in the Bluetooth L2CAP ECRED reconfiguration response handler when processing a replayed failure response after a successful reconfiguration. A remote attacker can replay a failure response with a stale ident value to cause a denial of service.

The issue can destroy an already-established channel by causing the kernel to match a subsequent response against a recycled ident value.
