Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
An issue exists in the Bluetooth management component where RCU-protected pointers are dereferenced outside critical sections, which can lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) condition. UAF occurs when a program continues to use a pointer after the memory it points to has been freed. Additionally, the use of
hci conn in hci sync callbacks requires a refcount to prevent UAF. A data race may also occur when accessing conn->state if hdev->lock is not held.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
