CVE-2026-98290NVD
Vulnerability Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: avoid socket lock inversion in listener cleanup
rfcomm_sock_cleanup_listen() closes unaccepted child sockets through
rfcomm_sock_close(), which takes the child socket lock before
rfcomm_dlc_close() acquires rfcomm_mutex. The RFCOMM worker takes these
locks in reverse order while handling connections and DLC state changes,
so lockdep reports a possible deadlock.
Close dequeued children without taking their socket lock. The accept queue
owns a reference to each child, and bt_accept_dequeue() locks the child
while unlinking it and clearing its parent pointer.
Dropping the child lock makes it important to prevent a concurrent
rfcomm_connect_ind() from enqueueing a new child after cleanup observes an
empty queue. Set a listening socket to BT_CLOSED while its lock is still
held, before dropping the lock and draining the queue. The state check in
rfcomm_connect_ind() then rejects new children once cleanup starts.
