CVE-2026-68085

8.0 · HIGH
Published Aug 10, 2026 EPSS 0.25% (16th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-68085 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.0 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.0, 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: hci_uart: clear HCI_UART_SENDING when write_work is canceled

HCI_UART_SENDING bit in tx_state means write_work is pending and blocks

queueing it again. Currently this bit is not cleared when canceling the

work in hci_uart_close(), which blocks future writes when device is

reopened later if write_work was pending.

Fix by clearing HCI_UART_SENDING when canceling the work.

Also make clearing of tx_skb safe by using disable_work_sync +

enable_work instead of just cancel_work_sync. hci_uart_flush() purges

the proto tx queue so we can cancel the pending write_work there,

instead of doing it just in hci_uart_close(). Re-enable and possibly

requeue the work after queue flush.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
