Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth management subsystem. This vulnerability occurs due to incorrect locking when handling memory pointers during device unpairing and disconnection. An attacker could exploit this to trigger a Use-After-Free (UAF) condition, which is a type of memory corruption that may lead to system instability or other impacts.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 12:33:04 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: mgmt: fix locking in unpair_device/disconnect_sync

Dereferencing RCU-protected pointers outside critical sections is
invalid and may lead to UAF.

Take hdev->lock for hci_conn lookup and hci_abort_conn().  Don't use RCU
to ensure the conn is fully initialized at this point.
