Summary

In the Linux kernel, the Bluetooth subsystem (hci_sync) had a theoretical use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability in hci_connect_acl/le_sync() callbacks. If the connection (conn) is freed while the hci_sync task is running, it could lead to use of freed memory.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to system crash or potential code execution in kernel context if an attacker can trigger the race.

Recommendation

Install a Linux kernel patch that holds a reference (refcount) to the connection in hci_connect_acl/le_sync() callbacks to prevent UAF.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_sync: hold conn in hci_connect_acl/le_sync() callbacks There is theoretical UAF if the conn is freed while the hci_sync task is running. Hold refcount to avoid that.
