1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64409)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
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 improper loop termination in btmtksdio_txrx_work() when processing Bluetooth SDIO transmit and receive work. A local user can trigger repeated pending interrupt handling to cause a denial of service.
The issue can cause the workqueue to loop indefinitely and prevent release of the SDIO host.
