Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth component. Improper synchronization in the set_cig_params_sync function can lead to a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability. This issue arises when hci_conn objects are accessed without proper locking, allowing them to be freed concurrently. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Statement

set_cig_params_sync could race connection teardown and touch freed HCI connection state. Red Hat recommends patched kernels for LE Audio / CIG users.
