DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: SCO: Fix use-after-free in sco_recv_frame() due to missing sock_hold

sco_recv_frame() reads conn->sk under sco_conn_lock() but immediately releases the lock without holding a reference to the socket. A concurrent close() can free the socket between the lock release and the subsequent sk->sk_state access, resulting in a use-after-free.

Other functions in the same file (sco_sock_timeout(), sco_conn_del()) correctly use sco_sock_hold() to safely hold a reference under the lock.

Fix by using sco_sock_hold() to take a reference before releasing the lock, and adding sock_put() on all exit paths.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in Linux kernel Bluetooth SCO subsystem allows adjacent network attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability exists in sco_recv_frame() which releases a lock on conn->sk without holding a socket reference, creating a race condition where concurrent close() operations can free the socket before subsequent access. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify systems running Linux kernels prior to versions 6.6.131, 6.12.80, 6.18.21, 6.19.11, or 7.0-rc6 and document Bluetooth-enabled infrastructure. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patches to all affected kernel versions across production and non-production environments; prioritize systems in Bluetooth-enabled networks or with untrusted adjacent network exposure. …
