Kernel CNA guidance classifies Bluetooth as Adjacent.\nAC:L - This is a use-after-free race between sco_conn_ready and sco_sock_release/sco_sock_kill. An attacker who times HCI SCO completion against socket close (rapid peer establish/teardown or concurrent connect/close) controls both sides and can retry until the window is hit; CONFIG_BT_BREDR defaults to y.\nPR:N - Incoming SCO is accepted when any listen socket exists (typical HFP/audio daemons on phones) with no Linux credentials required of the peer. sco_sock_create has no capability check, and listener close can occur from automatic bluetoothd/PipeWire teardown during connection setup.\nUI:N - No victim action is required at exploit time. OS Bluetooth audio stacks keep SCO listeners and manage sockets during normal headset, hands-free, and automotive operation while peer-initiated SCO/eSCO traffic is processed.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts in-kernel Bluetooth socket memory and can enable privilege escalation within the same host kernel security authority. It does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU boundary.\nC:H - Use-after-free of struct sock after sco_sock_kill lets an attacker reclaim the freed slab object and read kernel memory through subsequent sock operations, which per CNA guidance is High confidentiality impact.\nI:H - sco_conn_ready writes sk->sk_state and makes an indirect call through sk->sk_state_change on the freed sock, a standard kernel heap UAF primitive for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack, scored High per UAF guidance.\nA:H - lock_sock and subsequent sk field access on a freed socket cause a kernel oops or panic. Per CNA guidance any use-after-free is High availability impact even before full exploitation."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/bluetooth/sco.c"], "versions": [{"version": "27c24fda62b601d6f9ca5e992502578c4310876f", "lessThan": "50aae396dc30377bec8e3b181b8346f8fd38f7d8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27c24fda62b601d6f9ca5e992502578c4310876f", "lessThan": "6e3840578aaad1a296aab1eaaa89ea3b7d5cbae1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27c24fda62b601d6f9ca5e992502578c4310876f", "lessThan": "d141d9b769bcd1b747898528c5023270cda040f2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27c24fda62b601d6f9ca5e992502578c4310876f", "lessThan": "73cb063f5ec6ca51eb1e246c6d332563002ac277", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27c24fda62b601d6f9ca5e992502578c4310876f", "lessThan": "7199c78c3a3e399a4dc439d845826793880ccedc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27c24fda62b601d6f9ca5e992502578c4310876f", "lessThan": "4e37f6452d586b95c346a9abdd2fb80b67794f39", "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/sco.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.15", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.212", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.178", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.145", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.97", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.40", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1", "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": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.212"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.178"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.97"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.40"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50aae396dc30377bec8e3b181b8346f8fd38f7d8"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6e3840578aaad1a296aab1eaaa89ea3b7d5cbae1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d141d9b769bcd1b747898528c5023270cda040f2"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73cb063f5ec6ca51eb1e246c6d332563002ac277"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7199c78c3a3e399a4dc439d845826793880ccedc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e37f6452d586b95c346a9abdd2fb80b67794f39"}], "title": "Bluetooth: SCO: hold sk properly in sco_conn_ready", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
