CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem, specifically during the handling of LE accept and resolving lists. An attacker could exploit a use-after-free condition that arises when a debugfs reader accesses a freed list entry, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or system crashes. Organizations using affected Linux kernel versions with Bluetooth functionality should prioritize this issue to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_event: fix LE list UAF on reset hci_cc_reset() clears the LE accept and resolving lists without taking hdev->lock. Other command-complete handlers serialize updates to these lists with that lock, and the debugfs readers hold it while walking them. This permits the reset completion and a debugfs read to interleave as follows: hci_rx_work debugfs reader ----------- -------------- lock hdev->lock fetch current entry list_del(entry) kfree(entry) read entry fields The reader then dereferences a freed list entry and may follow its stale next pointer.
