CVE-2026-90255NVD
Vulnerability Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_conn: fix the SCO setup context lifetime
hci_setup_sync() queues a conn_handle_t with a NULL destroy callback, so
the context is only freed if hci_enhanced_setup_sync() actually runs. An
entry that is cancelled instead 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.
The context also stores a bare hci_conn pointer, so the connection can be
freed while the work is queued. The dequeue in hci_conn_del() does not
cover it either, as it matches on entry->data == conn and entry->data is
the wrapper here. Same problem as commit 2f5d635ad590 ("Bluetooth:
hci_sync: hold conn in hci_connect_acl/le_sync() callbacks").
Hold the connection and release both from a destroy callback. The
submission failure path drops both, since hci_cmd_sync_submit() does not
call the destroy callback when it fails to queue.
