DescriptionCVE.org

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

Bluetooth: ISO: fix refcounting of iso_conn

iso_conn_del() and iso_chan_del() have a race that results to double-put of iso_conn:

[Task hdev->workqueue] [Task 2] iso_conn_del iso_chan_del iso_conn_hold_unless_zero iso_conn_lock iso_conn_lock conn->sk = NULL iso_conn_unlock sk = iso_sock_hold(conn) <---------´ if (!sk) iso_conn_put iso_conn_put iso_conn_put /* UAF */

The extra put for !sk in iso_conn_del() is currently required since failing iso_chan_add() may leave iso_conn not associated with any sk.

Fix by having iso_pi(sk)->conn own refcount when non-NULL, so iso_conn_del does not need to put it. Adjust the iso_conn_add() refcounting so that conn is put if it does not get associated with an sk.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free via reference counting race in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth ISO (LE Audio) subsystem allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to potentially achieve kernel-level code execution or information disclosure. The race arises between concurrent execution of iso_conn_del() and iso_chan_del() in separate kernel tasks, resulting in a double-put of the iso_conn object and subsequent memory corruption. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the target system to be running an unpatched Linux kernel in the affected version ranges (6.11.11-pre-6.12, 6.12.2-pre-6.13, or the specific 6.13 commit range). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 8.8 score (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) overstates practical exploitability: the 'adjacent' attack vector confines exploitation to Bluetooth RF proximity, ruling out internet-scale mass exploitation, and the race condition inherently demands precise timing across two kernel execution contexts - a complexity factor that AC:L fails to capture. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade to a patched kernel release: Linux 6.18.44 or 7.1.8 for production stable branches, or 7.2-rc6 for testing. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems running Linux kernel versions 6.11.11 through pre-6.13 series with Bluetooth or LE Audio services enabled, and assess exposure to Bluetooth-adjacent networks. …
