NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-80819

Vulnerability identifier: #VU147101

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80819

CWE-ID: CWE-476

Exploitation vector: Adjecent network

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization in the RFCOMM deferred setup acceptance path when processing a recvmsg call after a remote DISC frame is received for a deferred data link connection. A remote attacker can send a DISC frame to a deferred RFCOMM data link connection to cause a denial of service.
