CVE-2026-53364

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Jul 13, 2026 linux CWE-401 EPSS 0.13% (3th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-53364 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on July 13, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. 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: hci_conn: Fix memory leak in hci_le_big_terminate()

hci_le_big_terminate() allocates iso_list_data via kzalloc_obj but

returns 0 without freeing it when neither pa_sync_term nor big_sync_term

flags are set after evaluating the PA and BIG sync connection state.

This early-return path was introduced when hci_le_big_terminate() was

refactored to take struct hci_conn instead of raw u8 parameters, adding

PA/BIG flag evaluation logic. The existing kfree() on hci_cmd_sync_queue

failure does not cover this path.

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.
