"scenarios": [{"lang": "en", "value": "AV:A - The bug is reached only by processing an L2CAP Disconnect Response on the BR/EDR or LE signaling CID (hci_rx_work \u2192 l2cap_recv_acldata \u2192 l2cap_recv_frame \u2192 l2cap_disconnect_rsp), which requires a Bluetooth peer within radio range; kernel guidance maps Bluetooth to Adjacent.\nAC:L - The attacker reliably triggers the bad unlock by sending DISCONN_RSP with a nonexistent SCID, and can also drive concurrent chan_lock holders (channel timers, connect/disconnect churn) so the premature unlock races list walks; both sides are attacker-influenced with no uncontrollable condition.\nPR:N - l2cap_recv_frame dispatches CID 0x0001/0x0005 to the signaling handlers with no pairing, encryption, or security-level check, so an unauthenticated in-range device can send the triggering PDU on an established ACL/LE link.\nUI:N - No victim action is required; once the host is connectable/advertising with Bluetooth enabled (default on phones, cars, and laptops), the crafted PDU is processed automatically by hci_rx_work.\nS:U - Impact stays inside the host kernel Bluetooth/L2CAP authority; this is standard kernel memory-safety compromise, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - Unlocking conn->chan_lock while another context (e.g. l2cap_chan_timeout) holds it exposes conn->chan_l to unsynchronized list manipulation and use-after-free of struct l2cap_chan, which per guidance enables heap reuse and arbitrary kernel read primitives.\nI:H - The same premature unlock races l2cap_chan_del/list walks against concurrent channel ops, yielding use-after-free write and function-pointer hijack primitives via sprayed reclaimed channel objects.\nA:H - The defect produces a lockdep \"bad unlock balance\" WARNING (panic under panic_on_warn) and, when it unlocks under a concurrent holder, use-after-free crashes/oopses on the channel list that an adjacent peer can re-trigger at will."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",
