CVE-2026-80764
🔶 mediumSummary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_event: fix LE list UAF on reset hci_cc_reset() clears the LE accept and resolving lists without taking hdev->lock. Other command-complete handlers serialize updates to these lists with that lock, and the debugfs readers hold it while walking them. This permits the reset completion and a debugfs read to interleave as follows: hci_rx_work debugfs reader ----------- -----------
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: fix LE list UAF on reset
hci_cc_reset() clears the LE accept and resolving lists without taking
hdev->lock. Other command-complete handlers serialize updates to these
lists with that lock, and the debugfs readers hold it while walking them.
This permits the reset completion and a debugfs read to interleave as
follows:
hci_rx_work debugfs reader
----------- --------------
lock hdev->lock
fetch current entry
list_del(entry)
kfree(entry)
read entry fields
The reader then dereferences a freed list entry and may follow its stale
next pointer.

Take hdev->lock around both list clears. This matches the existing
mutation and traversal locking convention.
