Overview

CVE-2026-80764 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 4, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: hci_event: fix LE list UAF on reset

hci_cc_reset() clears the LE accept and resolving lists without taking

hdev->lock. Other command-complete handlers serialize updates to these

lists with that lock, and the debugfs readers hold it while walking them.

This permits the reset completion and a debugfs read to interleave as

follows:

hci_rx_work debugfs reader

----------- --------------

lock hdev->lock

fetch current entry

list_del(entry)

kfree(entry)

read entry fields

The reader then dereferences a freed list entry and may follow its stale

next pointer.
