Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98733)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to corrupt kernel memory and potentially cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the Linux kernel Bluetooth hci_queue_iso() function when fragmented ISO packets are queued concurrently with transmit worker dequeues without holding the queue lock. A local user can send fragmented ISO packets to trigger a race in which queue insertion writes through a previously freed packet pointer, corrupting kernel memory and potentially causing a denial of service.
