reference.\nThe unsynchronized accept queue walk has existed since the initial\nBluetooth import.\n\nProtect accept_q with a dedicated lock for queue updates and polling.\nAlso rework bt_accept_dequeue() to take temporary child references under\nthe queue lock before dropping it and locking the child socket." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString":

and is reachable through nearby Bluetooth peers opening and tearing down L2CAP/RFCOMM-style connections to a listening Bluetooth service.\nAC:L - The race can be exercised repeatedly by driving connection and disconnection activity while the listener polls/accepts, and no rare kernel configuration or condition outside the attacker’s reasonable influence is required.\nPR:N - An adjacent Bluetooth peer can reach the incoming connection and teardown paths without local system privileges or prior authenticated application access in low-security/default Bluetooth service scenarios.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required once the Bluetooth service/socket is listening; the attacker can initiate the relevant Bluetooth protocol traffic.\nS:U - The bug affects kernel Bluetooth socket state within the same host security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or similar security boundary.\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free/unsynchronized traversal of freed socket objects; under the required conservative scoring rule, UAF exposure is treated as potentially enabling high-impact kernel information disclosure.\nI:H - The fixed code also pins children during dequeue to prevent references to freed objects, and UAF/refcount operations on reclaimed kernel memory are conservatively treated as potentially enabling memory corruption or control-flow compromise.\nA:H - A failed race or invalid traversal can dereference freed or attacker-influenced kernel memory, producing a kernel oops/panic or repeated Bluetooth service/kernel disruption." } ] } ], "affected": [ {
