Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68391)

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 use-after-free in the Bluetooth management subsystem in net/bluetooth/mgmt.c when handling Bluetooth management operations involving pending command callbacks and connection lookups. A local user can trigger connection state changes during these operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue involves dereferencing RCU-protected hci_conn pointers outside critical sections and accessing connection state without the required device lock, which can also lead to a data race.
