"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: hci_qca: Use del_timer_sync() before freeing\n\nWhile looking at a crash report on a timer list being corrupted, which\nusually happens when a timer is freed while still active. This is\ncommonly triggered by code calling del_timer() instead of\ndel_timer_sync() just before freeing.\n\nOne possible culprit is the hci_qca driver, which does exactly that.\n\nEric mentioned that wake_retrans_timer could be rearmed via the work\nqueue, so also move the destruction of the work queue before\ndel_timer_sync()."

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached on local HCI UART protocol teardown (hci_uart_tty_close/hci_uart_unregister_device → qca_close), not by processing Bluetooth radio frames from a peer, matching other local HCI/UART close scores rather than Adjacent RF bugs.\nAC:L - An attacker who drives IBS TX/wake work to arm or queue re-arm of tx_idle_timer/wake_retrans_timer and then closes the N_HCI/QCA instance controls both sides of the del_timer-versus-workqueue-rearm race, and can retry until the free hits an active timer.\nPR:L - Affected LTS kernels before the 5.16 CAP_NET_ADMIN gate allow unprivileged N_HCI attach (including via PTY), and even where CAP_NET_ADMIN is required it is scored Low under the overestimate rule used for other HCI management bugs.\nUI:N - The attacker opens/configures the HCI UART QCA protocol and closes the descriptor (or unbinds) themselves; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - Impact is host-kernel heap/timer-list corruption within the same OS security authority, with no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary effect.\nC:H - Freeing qca_data while its embedded timers remain active is a use-after-free; a groomed reallocation can be read back when the timer fires, enabling arbitrary kernel disclosure per UAF guidance.\nI:H - The same timer UAF lets the timer core operate on and invoke callbacks from freed/reallocated memory, yielding heap-spray write and control-flow hijack primitives.\nA:H - An active timer freed with the qca object reliably corrupts the timer wheel/slab and can oops/panic even when not fully exploited, which is Availability High."
