DescriptionCVE.org

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

Bluetooth: ISO: lock sk in iso_sock_getname

Accessing iso_pi(sk)->conn requires lock_sock, which is not held here.

Fix by adding the lock/release.

AnalysisAI

Missing socket lock in the Linux kernel Bluetooth ISO subsystem exposes a race condition in iso_sock_getname that allows a low-privileged adjacent attacker to trigger a use-after-free or null-pointer dereference via concurrent connection teardown. Systems running affected kernel versions with Bluetooth ISO (Isochronous) sockets enabled are vulnerable to kernel crashes or memory disclosure. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Recon
Gain adjacent Bluetooth or local access
Delivery
Open BTPROTO_ISO socket with low-privileged account
Exploit
Initiate ISO connection to establish iso_pi(sk)->conn
Install
Trigger concurrent connection teardown from second thread
C2
Call iso_sock_getname without lock during teardown window
Execute
Dereference freed conn pointer
Impact
Kernel panic or memory disclosure

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) the target kernel must be built with Bluetooth ISO support (CONFIG_BT_LE_L2CAP_CORE or equivalent ISO socket support compiled in); (2) the attacker must hold a low-privileged account capable of creating AF_BLUETOOTH sockets with BTPROTO_ISO - typically any unprivileged user on systems without strict socket creation restrictions; (3) the attacker must be able to race iso_sock_getname against a concurrent connection teardown, requiring either local thread control or coordination with a remote Bluetooth peer disconnecting. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD-assigned CVSS 8.0 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) overstates practical risk in several dimensions. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with low-privileged local access (or an adjacent Bluetooth peer that can induce socket operations) opens a Bluetooth ISO socket and calls getname while concurrently tearing down the connection from another thread. If the conn pointer is freed between the unlocked read and its dereference inside iso_sock_getname, the kernel dereferences a dangling pointer, resulting in a kernel panic (denial of service) or controlled memory disclosure. …
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade to a patched Linux kernel version: 6.18.44, 7.1.8, or 7.2-rc6, which include the lock_sock/release_sock pairing in iso_sock_getname. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit systems inventory to identify Linux deployments with Bluetooth ISO socket support enabled, prioritizing production Bluetooth-dependent infrastructure. …
