"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: L2CAP: fix UAF in l2cap_le_connect_rsp\n\nl2cap_le_connect_rsp() obtains a channel via\n__l2cap_get_chan_by_ident() but neither holds a reference nor uses\nl2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero() before locking and operating on it.\nA concurrent l2cap_chan_del() triggered by a remote disconnect can\nfree the channel between the lookup and l2cap_chan_lock(), causing\na use-after-free.\n\nThe BR/EDR counterpart l2cap_connect_rsp() and the sibling handler\nl2cap_le_command_rej() already use l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero()\nto safely hold a reference, but l2cap_le_connect_rsp() was left\nunprotected.\n\nFix by adding l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero() after the ident lookup\nand l2cap_chan_put() on the exit path, consistent with other L2CAP\nresponse handlers."

{

"value": "AV:A - The vulnerability is reached when the kernel processes an incoming L2CAP LE Connect Response over an established Bluetooth LE ACL link (HCI ACL receive → l2cap_recv_acldata → l2cap_le_sig_channel → l2cap_le_connect_rsp), requiring radio proximity rather than routable Internet access.\nAC:L - The remote Bluetooth peer controls both sides of the race by sending L2CAP_LE_CONN_RSP while concurrently triggering channel teardown via L2CAP DISCONN_REQ or HCI disconnect, freeing the channel between __l2cap_get_chan_by_ident() and l2cap_chan_lock() without attacker-uncontrollable timing.\nPR:N - No local privileges on the victim are required; exploitation needs only a nearby attacker with an established LE Bluetooth connection sending crafted L2CAP signaling packets, with no root, CAP_NET_ADMIN, or user-namespace capability on the target host.\nUI:N - On phones, wearables, automotive, and IoT deployments, paired or background Bluetooth clients routinely auto-initiate L2CAP credit-based connections without per-attack user confirmation once an LE link is up, enabling trigger of the pending outgoing connect path.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory and privileges on the Bluetooth-connected host; there is no VM guest-to-host escape, sandbox breakout, or IOMMU/DMA boundary crossing, so security scope remains unchanged per kernel CVSS guidance.\nC:H - Use-after-free of heap-allocated struct l2cap_chan allows attacker-controlled reuse of freed slab memory, enabling disclosure of kernel heap contents and pointers through corrupted channel fields accessed after premature free.\nI:H - The UAF window writes channel state (ident, dcid, mtu, credits) and invokes chan->ops function pointers (ready, teardown) on freed memory, enabling heap spraying and control-flow hijack for arbitrary kernel code execution.\nA:H - Operating on a freed l2cap_chan can immediately kernel-oops or panic from corrupt mutex/state during lock/unlock and callback dispatch; UAF in softirq L2CAP processing inherently threatens full system availability."
