CVE-2026-68085
8.0 · HIGHOverview
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.
