Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64406

Published: July 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU139559
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-2026-64406
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 bt_accept_dequeue() when handling Bluetooth L2CAP socket cleanup and accept queue processing. A local user can trigger socket state transitions that cause freed memory to be accessed to cause a denial of service.

The issue was observed during listening L2CAP socket cleanup.
