CVE-2026-74534

HIGH 8.8 ALL-YEARS

Published 2026-08-15 · Last modified 2026-10-23 · Linux · NVD: Received

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix refcounting of iso_conn iso_conn_del() and iso_chan_del() have a race that results to double-put of iso_conn: [Task hdev->workqueue] [Task 2] iso_conn_del iso_chan_del iso_conn_hold_unless_zero iso_conn_lock iso_conn_lock conn->sk = NULL iso_conn_unlock sk = iso_sock_hold(conn) <---------´ if (!sk) iso_conn_put iso_conn_put iso_conn_put /* UAF */ The extra put for !sk in iso_conn_del() is currently required since failing iso_chan_add() may leave iso_conn not associated with any sk. Fix by having iso_pi(sk)->conn own refcount when non-NULL, so iso_conn_del does not need to put it. Adjust the iso_conn_add() refcounting so that conn is put if it does not get associated with an sk.
