Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68389)

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 qca_controller_memdump() in the Qualcomm Bluetooth hci_qca driver when processing a controller-reported memdump with an invalid zero dump size. A local user can trigger a crafted invalid memdump condition to cause a denial of service.

The issue can leave memdump collection state stale and IBS disabled after the aborted dump, which may block waiters or later transmit handling.
