{"id":"AZL-108653","summary":"CVE-2026-98739 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: RFCOMM: Fix initial port reference race\n\nFor RFCOMM_RELEASE_ONHUP devices, rfcomm_tty_install() and\n__rfcomm_release_dev() both use RFCOMM_TTY_OWNED to decide who drops the\ninitial tty_port reference. The release path tests the bit separately\nfrom the install path setting it, so both can drop that reference.\n\nThe synchronous hangup does not prevent this race: port-\u003etty is not\nassigned until tty_port_open(), after installation. The following\ninterleaving is possible:\n\n  1. Install and release each obtain a reference with rfcomm_dev_get().\n  2. Release observes RFCOMM_TTY_OWNED clear.\n  3. Install sets RFCOMM_TTY_OWNED and drops the initial reference.\n  4. Release drops the same initial reference again.\n  5. TTY cleanup drops its reference and frees the device.\n  6. Release performs its final tty_port_put() on the freed port.\n\nKASAN reported:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in tty_port_put+0x22/0x190\n  Write of size 4 at addr ffff8881001d3d5c by task poc/92\n\n  Call Trace:\n   tty_port_put+0x22/0x190\n   rfcomm_dev_ioctl+0x1d4/0x1930\n   sock_do_ioctl+0x110/0x260\n   sock_ioctl+0x380/0x590\n   __x64_sys_ioctl+0x134/0x1c0\n\n  Allocated by task 88:\n   rfcomm_dev_ioctl+0x8f6/0x1930\n   sock_do_ioctl+0x110/0x260\n   sock_ioctl+0x380/0x590\n   __x64_sys_ioctl+0x134/0x1c0\n\n  Freed by task 65:\n   kfree+0x131/0x3c0\n   rfcomm_dev_destruct+0x23b/0x2f0\n   release_one_tty+0xc1/0x370\n   process_one_work+0x661/0x1090\n\nUse test_and_set_bit() in both paths so that only the caller that changes\nRFCOMM_TTY_OWNED from clear to set drops the initial reference.
