{"id":"AZL-93452","summary":"CVE-2026-64405 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.145.2-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: hci_conn: Fix null ptr deref in hci_abort_conn()\n\nhci_abort_conn() read hci_skb_event(hdev-\u003esent_cmd) when a connection\nwas pending, but hdev-\u003esent_cmd can be NULL while req_status is still\nHCI_REQ_PEND, leading to a NULL pointer dereference and a general\nprotection fault from the hci_rx_work() receive path.\n\nInstead of inspecting hdev-\u003esent_cmd, track the in-flight create\nconnection command with a new per-connection HCI_CONN_CREATE flag and\nroute all cancellation through hci_cancel_connect_sync(), which\ndispatches to a dedicated per-type cancel function. The create command\nis in exactly one of two states: still queued, or in flight. The cancel\nfunction holds cmd_sync_work_lock across the whole decision: the worker\ntakes this lock to dequeue every entry, so while it is held a queued\ncommand cannot start running and an in-flight command cannot complete\nand let the next command become pending. This keeps the flag test and\nhci_cmd_sync_cancel() atomic with respect to the worker, so a queued\ncommand is simply dequeued, and an in-flight command owned by this\nconnection is cancelled without the risk of cancelling an unrelated\ncommand that became pending in the meantime. CIS uses the same flag\nmechanism via HCI_CONN_CREATE_CIS but cannot be dequeued per-connection.\n\nhci_acl_create_conn_sync() and hci_le_create_conn_sync() clear\nHCI_CONN_CREATE after the create command completes, but the command\nstatus handler can free conn via hci_conn_del() (for example when the\ncontroller rejects the connection) while the worker is still blocked on\nthe connection complete event. Hold a reference on conn across the\ncreate command so the flag can be cleared without a use-after-free.","modified":"2026-08-28T17:47:48.406734527Z","published":"2026-07-25T10:17:24Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-64405"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-64405"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.145.2-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-93452.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
