Overview

CVE-2026-53276 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 25, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

Bluetooth: ISO: Fix a use-after-free of the hci_conn pointer

In iso_sock_rebind_bc(), the bis pointer is cached, then the socket lock is

dropped:

bis = iso_pi(sk)->conn->hcon;

/* Release the socket before lookups since that requires hci_dev_lock

* which shall not be acquired while holding sock_lock for proper

* ordering.

*/

release_sock(sk);

hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev);

During the unlocked window, could a concurrent close() destroy the connection

and free the bis structure, causing hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev) to access memory

after it is freed, fix this by using the hdev reference which was safely

acquired via iso_conn_get_hdev().
