Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64433)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in add_device_complete in net/bluetooth/mgmt.c when handling concurrent bluetooth management device add and remove operations. A local user can trigger concurrent MGMT requests to access freed memory and cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because hci_conn_params_lookup() is used without holding the required device lock while the returned object is later dereferenced.
