CVE-2026-90252NVD
Vulnerability Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: MGMT: free the HCI command when it is cancelled
mgmt_hci_cmd_sync() queues the pending command with a NULL destroy
callback, so it is only freed if send_hci_cmd_sync() runs. A cancelled
entry is leaked, as _hci_cmd_sync_cancel_entry() does not release
entry->data when there is no destroy callback, and hci_cmd_sync_clear()
cancels every pending entry when the controller is unregistered. Nothing
else reclaims it either: mgmt_pending_new() does not put the command on
hdev->mgmt_pending.
The leak also pins the socket reference taken by mgmt_pending_new(), so
the mgmt socket is never released.
Free the command from a destroy callback. The now-empty done label is
replaced by a direct return.
