The\nlookup returned a command that was still linked on the shared pending list,\nwithout keeping mgmt_pending_lock held for the later dereference and\nremoval.\n\nA concurrent MGMT_OP_CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE request can remove and free the\nsame pending command before the callback uses it. The reverse race is also\npossible when cancel_pair_device() gets a command from pending_find() and a\ncallback removes it before the cancel path dereferences it. This can lead\nto a use-after-free and a second list_del().\n\nMake the pairing lookup helpers transfer ownership of the pending command\nby removing it from hdev->mgmt_pending while holding mgmt_pending_lock.\nThe callbacks and cancel path then complete the command and free it\ndirectly, so racing paths cannot find or free the same command again.

remote Bluetooth peers cannot issue MGMT_OP_PAIR_DEVICE or MGMT_OP_CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE over the air.\nAC:L - An attacker controls the race by concurrently issuing MGMT_OP_PAIR_DEVICE and MGMT_OP_CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE from threads or sockets they own while pairing HCI callbacks fire, and can retry until cancel and completion/auth/SMP paths interleave on the same pending command.\nPR:L - pair_device and cancel_pair_device lack HCI_MGMT_UNTRUSTED and require HCI_SOCK_TRUSTED (CAP_NET_ADMIN at bind); per kernel CNA guidance CAP_NET_ADMIN reachable via unprivileged user namespaces (unshare -Urn) maps to PR:L, consistent with similar Bluetooth mgmt UAF scores.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required beyond a powered Bluetooth controller; the attacker directly sends the conflicting PAIR_DEVICE and CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE management commands that create the pending entry and race the unlocked find_pairing/pending_find paths against completion callbacks.\nS:U - Exploitation corrupts kernel Bluetooth MGMT heap objects (mgmt_pending_cmd) within the same host kernel security authority; this is standard local kernel memory corruption, not a VM, IOMMU, or cross-authority boundary escape.\nC:H - Use-after-free of mgmt_pending_cmd when find_pairing or pending_find returns a still-linked command without holding mgmt_pending_lock through later dereference and mgmt_pending_remove, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure via slab reuse of the freed object.\nI:H - Slab UAF and double list_del on mgmt_pending_cmd during concurrent cancel_pair_device and pairing/auth/SMP completion callbacks provide attacker-influenced heap corruption primitives exploitable for arbitrary kernel writes and control-flow hijacking per kernel UAF guidance.\nA:H - Dereferencing or list_del on a freed mgmt_pending_cmd during the cancel versus callback race causes kernel oops or panic; repeated concurrent PAIR_DEVICE and CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE commands during active pairing can reliably crash or hang the system." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/bluetooth/mgmt.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e9a416b5ce0c0f93819f55d34cf6882196e9c3b2", "lessThan": "50af4280a587c9971b5388cbc438f1324e626b7b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e9a416b5ce0c0f93819f55d34cf6882196e9c3b2", "lessThan": "86ed4dd6548ccf277bc691bc912ca06e76b9d80c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e9a416b5ce0c0f93819f55d34cf6882196e9c3b2", "lessThan": "7c2a152a897cd1c184b2051484d4f74d803e7f4a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e9a416b5ce0c0f93819f55d34cf6882196e9c3b2", "lessThan": "c569def320aa8b1fde89227e2ea96606790fd86d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e9a416b5ce0c0f93819f55d34cf6882196e9c3b2", "lessThan": "51be7280980fddc90ebe874a69c2fe8ab02bb46a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e9a416b5ce0c0f93819f55d34cf6882196e9c3b2", "lessThan": "d0a7b48ad0921bd88effaee10bf970ab1d5d0ddd", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/bluetooth/mgmt.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.39", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.39", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.184", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.151", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.103", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.44", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.39", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.184" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.39", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.151" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.39", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.103" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.39", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.44" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.39", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.8" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.39", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50af4280a587c9971b5388cbc438f1324e626b7b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/86ed4dd6548ccf277bc691bc912ca06e76b9d80c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c2a152a897cd1c184b2051484d4f74d803e7f4a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c569def320aa8b1fde89227e2ea96606790fd86d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51be7280980fddc90ebe874a69c2fe8ab02bb46a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d0a7b48ad0921bd88effaee10bf970ab1d5d0ddd" } ], "title": "Bluetooth: mgmt: fix UAF in pair command cancellation", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-74510", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T18:58:39.693080Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T19:05:51.530Z" } } ] } }
