The conn pointer was\nobtained from an RCU-protected iteration over hdev->conn_hash.list and\nis not valid once these locks are dropped.  A concurrent disconnect can\nfree the hci_conn between the unlock and the dereference, causing a\nuse-after-free read.\n\nThe cancellation mechanism in hci_conn_del() cannot prevent this because\nhci_le_create_cis_pending() queues hci_create_cis_sync with data=NULL:\n\n    hci_cmd_sync_queue(hdev, hci_create_cis_sync, NULL, NULL);\n\nWhile hci_conn_del() dequeues with data=conn:\n\n    hci_cmd_sync_dequeue(hdev, NULL, conn, NULL);\n\nSince NULL != conn, the lookup in _hci_cmd_sync_lookup_entry() never\nmatches, and the pending work item is not cancelled.\n\nFix this by saving conn->conn_timeout into a local variable while the\nlocks are still held, so the stale conn pointer is never dereferenced\nafter unlock.\n\nThis is the same class of bug as the one fixed by commit 035c25007c9e\n(\"Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF on le_read_features_complete\") which\naddressed the identical pattern in a different function.\n\nThis vulnerability was identified using 0sec.ai, an open-source\nautomated security auditing platform (https://github.com/0sec-labs).","published":"2026-07-19T16:17:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-26T13:33:53.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-416"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00334,"percentile":0.26567,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.33%).
