CVE-2026-80721

8.8 · HIGH
Published Aug 28, 2026 EPSS 0.22% (13th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-80721 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 28, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

Bluetooth: ISO: ensure no dangling hcon references in iso_conn

After iso_conn_del(), ISO sockets should not dereference the hcon any

more. Currently, clearing iso_conn::hcon relies on iso_conn_del()

releasing the last reference to the iso_conn.

Simplify this by explicitly clearing conn->hcon in iso_conn_del(), to

avoid more complex reasoning on races about who holds the last

reference.

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.
