CVE-2026-43119

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: hci_sync: annotate data-races around hdev->req_status

__hci_cmd_sync_sk() sets hdev->req_status under hdev->req_lock:

hdev->req_status = HCI_REQ_PEND;

However, several other functions read or write hdev->req_status without

holding any lock:

- hci_send_cmd_sync() reads req_status in hci_cmd_work (workqueue)

- hci_cmd_sync_complete() reads/writes from HCI event completion

- hci_cmd_sync_cancel() / hci_cmd_sync_cancel_sync() read/write

- hci_abort_conn() reads in connection abort path

Since __hci_cmd_sync_sk() runs on hdev->req_workqueue while

hci_send_cmd_sync() runs on hdev->workqueue, these are different

workqueues that can execute concurrently on different CPUs. The plain

C accesses constitute a data race.

Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations on all concurrent accesses

to hdev->req_status to prevent potential compiler optimizations that

could affect correctness (e.g., load fusing in t

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
