{"id":"AZL-109398","summary":"CVE-2026-98459 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: ISO: balance the parent hold in hci_bind_bis()\n\nhci_conn_link() takes a lifetime reference to its parent with\nhci_conn_get(), but only takes an operational hold on the child.\nhci_conn_unlink() later balances both a hold and a reference on the\nparent.\n\nThe SCO and CIS paths pass a parent acquired from a connect helper, so\nit already has a hold. For an additional BIS, hci_bind_bis() obtains the\nparent from hci_conn_hash_lookup_big(), which returns a bare pointer.\nUnlinking the child then drops the parent's existing hold and can\nschedule it for disconnection while its socket is still using it.\n\nTake a hold on the parent before linking it and drop that hold if linking\nfails. A successful link transfers the hold to hci_conn_unlink().","modified":"2026-10-19T14:16:32.031414106Z","published":"2026-10-18T16:16:56Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98459"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98459"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-109398.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
