Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-46275

Published: June 10, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU134257
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46275
CWE-ID: CWE-416
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the hci_uart line discipline lifecycle management when closing or initializing a Bluetooth HCI UART device. A local user can trigger a hangup or race the close and initialization paths to cause a denial of service.

The issue involves workqueue handling and teardown ordering in the close and initialization error paths.
