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

Bluetooth: ISO: Fix data-race on iso_pi fields in hci_get_route calls

iso_connect_bis(), iso_connect_cis(), iso_listen_bis(), and
iso_conn_big_sync() call hci_get_route() using iso_pi(sk)->dst,
iso_pi(sk)->src, and iso_pi(sk)->src_type without holding lock_sock().

These fields may be modified concurrently by connect() or setsockopt()
on the same socket, resulting in data-races reported by KCSAN.

Fix this by snapshotting the required fields under lock_sock() before
calling hci_get_route().

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from concurrent access to iso_pi fields when establishing or synchronizing ISO Bluetooth connections in the Linux kernel. These fields are read by hci_get_route without holding the necessary socket lock, creating a data race that can lead to memory corruption or incorrect routing decisions. No specific exploitation path is documented, but the flaw carries the risk of kernel instability or crashes. This race condition aligns with CWE‑820.

Affected Systems

All Linux kernel builds that incorporate the Bluetooth ISO stack are affected. The common product identifier is Linux kernel. No version‑level constraints are provided, implying that any kernel using the relevant code path is vulnerable until the patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score is less than 1% and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating a low probability of active exploitation as currently known. The primary consequence is potential kernel instability or crash from uncontrolled memory corruption, but no direct user‑oriented attack vector is documented. The risk is mitigated by applying the kernel patch that snapshots the offending fields before calling hci_get_route. The weakness is classified as CWE‑820 (Race Condition).

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the kernel to a release that includes the Bluetooth ISO race‑condition fix (CWE‑820) referenced in the advisory patch series.
  • If a kernel upgrade cannot be performed immediately, unload or disable the Bluetooth ISO socket modules (e.g., btusb or other Bluetooth drivers) to eliminate the vulnerable code until the patch is applied.
  • Continuously monitor system logs for KCSAN messages or kernel panics that may indicate a race condition; if such events occur, verify that the kernel is patched and consider restricting Bluetooth ISO socket usage.
