CVE-2024-26801

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue is related to a potential use-after-free in the hci error reset() function when handling the HCI EV HARDWARE ERROR event. If the underlying BT controller is not responding, the GPIO reset mechanism would free the hci dev and lead to a use-after-free in hci error reset(). This could allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The vulnerability is associated with the net/bluetooth/hci core.c module in the Linux kernel.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
