Improper locking in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53358

Vulnerability identifier: #VU136811

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-2026-53358

CWE-ID: CWE-667

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() when cleaning up listening L2CAP channels. A local user can trigger a race condition to cause a denial of service.

The issue involves incorrect lock ordering between conn->lock, chan->lock, and sk_lock during Bluetooth L2CAP channel cleanup.
