Summary

In the Linux kernel's Bluetooth stack (MGMT), the mesh_send_done timer was not canceled when the hdev was removed, causing use-after-free when the timer fired. The fix cancels the timer on hdev removal.

Risk Assessment

Use-after-free can cause system crashes or potential code execution by an attacker.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version that cancels the mesh_send_done timer.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: MGMT: cancel mesh send timer when hdev removed mesh_send_done timer is not canceled when hdev is removed, which causes crash if the timer triggers after hdev is gone. Cancel the timer when MGMT removes the hdev, like other MGMT timers. Should fix the BUG: sporadically seen by BlueZ test bot (in "Mesh - Send cancel - 1" test).
