Description
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth HCI socket implementation. A race condition between socket bind and write operations allows mgmt_pending to free a command structure while write_iter is still attempting to send it, resulting in use-after-free when the freed memory is accessed.
Statement
This race requires concurrent socket operations from userspace. Local attackers with Bluetooth socket access could potentially trigger this for denial of service or privilege escalation.
