CVE-2026-64404 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: avoid NULL deref of conn in iso_conn_big_sync() iso_conn_big_sync() drops the socket lock to call hci_get_route() and then re-acquires it, but dereferences iso_pi(sk)->conn->hcon afterwards without re-checking that conn is still valid. While the lock is dropped, the connection can be torn down under the same socket lock: iso_disconn_cfm() -> iso_conn_del() -> iso_chan_del() sets iso_pi(sk)->conn to NULL (and the broadcast teardown path can also clear conn->hcon on its own). When iso_conn_big_sync() re-acquires the lock and reads conn->hcon, conn may be NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference (hcon is the first member of struct iso_conn). This path is reached from iso_sock_recvmsg() for a PA-sync broadcast sink socket (BT_SK_DEFER_SETUP | BT_SK_PA_SYNC), so the dropped-lock window can race with connection teardown driven by controller events. Re-validate iso_pi(sk)->conn and its hcon after re-acquiring the socket lock and bail out if the connection went away, as already done in the sibling iso_sock_rebind_bc().
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in the ISO connection big synchronization process. This issue arises because the function iso_conn_big_sync() drops the socket lock to call hci_get_route() and then re-acquires it, but fails to verify if the connection is still valid before accessing it. During the brief period when the lock is dropped, the connection can be terminated, leaving a NULL reference that, when accessed, causes a crash. This vulnerability affects the stable versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest stable version of the Linux kernel, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
