Description

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. The hci_conn lookup on the RX path uses a lock/lookup/unlock/use pattern that doesn't prevent concurrent deletion of the hci_conn structure. When hci_abort_conn_sync() or similar functions delete the connection while RX processing is ongoing, a use-after-free occurs.

Statement

Exploitation requires Bluetooth connectivity and specific timing between connection teardown and packet reception. Physical proximity or a compromised paired device may be required.
