CVE-2026-93209 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 24, 2026.

Technical description

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

Bluetooth: hci_core: use skb_get() instead of skb_clone() for req_skb

BT enable fails intermittently with -ETIMEDOUT (-110). The kernel log

shows the HCI Read Local Version command was sent and the firmware

replied with status 0x00 (logged by hci_req_cmd_complete() BT_DBG),

but the waiter in __hci_cmd_sync_sk() never woke up and timed out

after 10 s:

bluetooth hci0: Opcode 0xfc00 // __hci_cmd_sync_sk

bluetooth hci0: opcode 0xfc00 plen 1 // hci_cmd_sync_add

bluetooth hci0: skb len 4 // hci_cmd_sync_alloc

bluetooth hci0: length 1 // hci_req_sync_run

Bluetooth: hci0 cmd_cnt 1 cmd queued 1 // hci_cmd_work

Bluetooth: hci0 type 1 len 4 // hci_send_frame

Bluetooth: opcode 0xfc00 status 0x00 // hci_req_cmd_complete

<-- req_skb NULL: req_complete_skb not set,

hci_cmd_sync_complete() never called,

req_status stays HCI_RE

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93209?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93209 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
