CVE-2026-63946 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix UAF in iso_recv_frame iso_recv_frame reads conn->sk under iso_conn_lock but releases the lock before using sk, with no reference held. A concurrent iso_sock_kill() can free sk in that window, causing use-after-free on sk->sk_state and sock_queue_rcv_skb(). Fix by replacing the bare pointer read with iso_sock_hold(conn), which calls sock_hold() while the spinlock is held, atomically elevating the refcount before the lock drops. Add a drop_put label so sock_put() is called on all exit paths where the hold succeeded.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth ISO socket implementation. The issue arises in the 'iso_recv_frame' function, where the connection's socket is accessed under a lock, but the lock is released before the socket is used, leaving a window for it to be freed by a concurrent operation. This leads to a use-after-free condition on the socket's state and received data queue. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been patched. Instructions for downloading the updated kernel can be found on the official Linux kernel website.
