iso_sock_timeout and iso_conn_del are reached via HCI disconnect/connect events from an adjacent BLE peer and local ISO socket syscalls, which per kernel guidance is Adjacent not Network.\nAC:L - Exploitation is a race between iso_sock_timeout and iso_conn_del that an attacker can reliably force by controlling ISO connect/disconnect timing and socket send timeouts (SO_SNDTIMEO) on concurrent workqueues, so success does not depend on uncontrollable conditions.\nPR:N - An adjacent Bluetooth attacker can trigger iso_conn_del through remote HCI disconnect/failure events without any credentials or privileges on the victim host; only a normal active or pending ISO/LE Audio session must exist on the target.\nUI:N - No deliberate victim interaction beyond routine Bluetooth/LE Audio operation is required; exploitation can occur in the background while an ISO connection is pending or active, without opening files or performing a separate enabling action.\nS:U - The UAF/deadlock corrupts kernel heap memory on the host and enables local privilege escalation within the kernel security boundary, not a cross-boundary escape such as VM guest-to-host or IOMMU bypass.\nC:H - iso_conn_free dereferences conn->hcon after concurrent iso_conn_del frees the hci_conn (UAF on conn->hcon->iso_data), enabling arbitrary kernel memory read/disclosure through heap corruption per UAF guidance.\nI:H - The UAF permits writes through conn->hcon->iso_data and hci_conn_drop on freed hci_conn memory, providing heap corruption primitives that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel writes or code execution.\nA:H - The UAF causes kernel oops/panic on freed hci_conn access, and the lock_sock versus disable_delayed_work_sync deadlock in iso_sock_timeout/iso_conn_del paths can hang the system; both crash and deadlock map to High availability impact."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/bluetooth/iso.c"],"versions":[{"version":"a58d0f5dac322e16cc75334d000666512341bde5","lessThan":"16d89a63e08280abeef7218970a3bbd7ca62b021","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"dc26097bdb864a0d5955b9a25e43376ffc1af99b","lessThan":"82e982f54f962f72646868ddbb2c3bd9ea178568","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"dc26097bdb864a0d5955b9a25e43376ffc1af99b","lessThan":"3c3d5f85db80145636bb991a6005e2760012b985","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"dc26097bdb864a0d5955b9a25e43376ffc1af99b","lessThan":"200fa1629c57a3ca2b03d3ca63fd3a9bfd910c43","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f53e7489273dc2bb307bf50f319b3762d45534f0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6.12.2","lessThan":"6.12.103","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11.11","lessThan":"6.12","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/bluetooth/iso.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.13","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.13","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.103","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.44","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.8","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.103"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.44"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.8"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11.11"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/16d89a63e08280abeef7218970a3bbd7ca62b021"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82e982f54f962f72646868ddbb2c3bd9ea178568"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c3d5f85db80145636bb991a6005e2760012b985"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/200fa1629c57a3ca2b03d3ca63fd3a9bfd910c43"}],"title":"Bluetooth: ISO: avoid deadlocks in iso_sock_timeout","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
