{"id":"AZL-89007","summary":"CVE-2026-46111 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.141.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: hci_conn: fix potential UAF in create_big_sync\n\nAdd hci_conn_valid() check in create_big_sync() to detect stale\nconnections before proceeding with BIG creation. Handle the\nresulting -ECANCELED in create_big_complete() and re-validate the\nconnection under hci_dev_lock() before dereferencing, matching the\npattern used by create_le_conn_complete() and create_pa_complete().\n\nKeep the hci_conn object alive across the async boundary by taking\na reference via hci_conn_get() when queueing create_big_sync(), and\ndropping it in the completion callback. The refcount and the lock\nare complementary: the refcount keeps the object allocated, while\nhci_dev_lock() serializes hci_conn_hash_del()'s list_del_rcu() on\nhdev-\u003econn_hash, as required by hci_conn_del().\n\nhci_conn_put() is called outside hci_dev_unlock() so the final put\n(which resolves to kfree() via bt_link_release) does not run under\nhdev-\u003elock, though the release path would be safe either way.\n\nWithout this, create_big_complete() would unconditionally\ndereference the conn pointer on error, causing a use-after-free\nvia hci_connect_cfm() and hci_conn_del().","modified":"2026-08-28T17:47:39.051622806Z","published":"2026-05-28T10:16:26Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-46111"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-46111"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.141.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-89007.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
