Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2019-10-09 20:43:11 UTC 
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.5. There is a use-after-free issue when hci_uart_register_dev() fails in hci_uart_set_proto() in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c.

Comment 1 Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2019-10-09 20:44:16 UTC 
Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1760101]
Comment 2 Justin M. Forbes 2019-10-10 16:12:42 UTC 
This was fixed for Fedora in the 5.0.5 stable updates.
Comment 6 Petr Matousek 2020-03-05 10:39:35 UTC 
Statement:

This flaw is rated as a Moderate as it requires the local attacker to have permissions to issue ioctl commands to the bluetooth device and bluetooth hardware to be present.
Comment 7 Alex 2020-03-05 19:26:45 UTC 
Mitigation:

To mitigate this issue, prevent module hci_uart from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
Comment 9 Alex 2020-03-08 12:29:03 UTC 
Explaining CVSS score:

Attack Complexity: High -- because call out a race condition being required for a possible privilege escalation.
 
Confidentiality , Integrity, Availability: High -- privilege escalation possibly to a high level of access or capability impacting Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
