CVE-2026-63946
Published Jul 19, 2026
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix UAF in iso_recv_frame iso_recv_frame reads conn->sk under iso_conn_lock but releases the lock before using sk, with no reference held. A concurrent iso_sock_kill() can free sk in that window, causing use-after-free on sk->sk_state and sock_queue_rcv_skb(). Fix by replacing the bare pointer read with iso_sock_hold(conn), which calls sock_hold() while the spinlock is held, atomically elevating the refcount before the lock drops. Add a drop_put label so sock_put() is called on all exit paths where the hold succeeded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CVE-2026-63946? +
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: fix UAF in iso_recv_frame
iso_recv_frame reads conn->sk under iso_conn_lock but releases the lock
before using sk, with no reference held. A concurrent iso_sock_kill()
can free sk in that window, causing use-after-free on sk->sk_state and
sock_queue_rcv_skb().
Fix by replacing the bare pointer read with iso_sock_hold(conn), which
calls sock_hold() while the spinlock is held, atomically elevating the
refcount before the lock drops. Add a drop_put label so sock_put() is
called on all exit paths where the hold succeeded.
