Title
Bluetooth: bnep: pin L2CAP connection during netdev registration
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: bnep: pin L2CAP connection during netdev registration
bnep_add_connection() reads the L2CAP connection without holding the
channel lock, then passes its HCI device to register_netdev(). Controller
teardown can clear and release that connection concurrently, leaving the
network device registration path to dereference a freed parent device.
Take a reference to the L2CAP connection while holding the channel lock.
Retain it until register_netdev() has taken the parent device reference.

"value": "AV:A - An adjacent Bluetooth peer can initiate a BNEP/PAN connection that causes privileged bluetoothd to issue BNEPCONNADD, then tear down the ACL link during netdev registration. Exploitation therefore requires Bluetooth radio adjacency.\nAC:L - The peer controls both the connection setup that triggers the ioctl and the competing disconnect, and can repeat attempts until the lifetime window is hit. No condition beyond the attacker\u0027s practical control is required.\nPR:N - The adjacent peer needs no Linux credentials or capabilities because root bluetoothd performs the CAP_NET_ADMIN ioctl on its behalf in an enabled, auto-authorized PAN deployment. The direct ioctl requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace, but the adjacent path does not.\nUI:N - An enabled PAN service can automatically accept or pre-authorize connections, after which setup and teardown require no victim action. Prior service configuration is not user interaction during exploitation.\nS:U - The memory corruption occurs in the host kernel and compromises resources governed by that same kernel security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or comparable security boundary.\nC:H - The stale parent points into a freed hci_conn allocation, and reclaiming that use-after-free object can enable disclosure of arbitrary kernel memory. Confidentiality impact is therefore High.\nI:H - device_add() calls get_device() on the freed parent, producing a refcount write into reclaimed memory and potentially further device-list corruption. The use-after-free can support arbitrary kernel-memory corruption or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The use-after-free can cause a kernel oops, panic, or corrupted device hierarchy during netdev registration. An adjacent peer can repeatedly initiate and terminate connections to crash the system."

No condition beyond the attacker\u0027s practical control is required.\nPR:N - The adjacent peer needs no Linux credentials or capabilities because root bluetoothd performs the CAP_NET_ADMIN ioctl on its behalf in an enabled, auto-authorized PAN deployment. The direct ioctl requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace, but the adjacent path does not.\nUI:N - An enabled PAN service can automatically accept or pre-authorize connections, after which setup and teardown require no victim action. Prior service configuration is not user interaction during exploitation.\nS:U - The memory corruption occurs in the host kernel and compromises resources governed by that same kernel security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or comparable security boundary.\nC:H - The stale parent points into a freed hci_conn allocation, and reclaiming that use-after-free object can enable disclosure of arbitrary kernel memory. Confidentiality impact is therefore High.\nI:H - device_add() calls get_device() on the freed parent, producing a refcount write into reclaimed memory and potentially further device-list corruption. The use-after-free can support arbitrary kernel-memory corruption or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The use-after-free can cause a kernel oops, panic, or corrupted device hierarchy during netdev registration. An adjacent peer can repeatedly initiate and terminate connections to crash the system."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
