CVE-2026-74511
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: mgmt: fix pending command UAF in EIR updates MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME is handled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: mgmt: fix pending command UAF in EIR updates
MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME is handled asynchronously on powered controllers
and can run set_name_sync(). When the controller is BR/EDR capable,
set_name_sync() updates the local name and then rebuilds EIR data through
eir_create(). The EIR builder walks hdev->uuids, but the UUID list can
be changed and entries can be freed by MGMT_OP_ADD_UUID and
MGMT_OP_REMOVE_UUID.
pending_eir_or_class() is meant to serialize management commands that
can change EIR or the class of device, but it did not include
MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME. In addition, it walked hdev->mgmt_pending
without hdev->mgmt_pending_lock even though pending commands are added
and removed under that mutex. A racing command completion can therefore
remove and free a pending command while pending_eir_or_class() is still
inspecting it, leading to a use-after-free in the pending-command list or
allowing a local name update to rebuild EIR while UUID entries are being
removed.
Take hdev->mgmt_pending_lock while scanning hdev->mgmt_pending and treat
MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME as an EIR/class-affecting pending command on the
powered asynchronous path. Check for a conflicting pending command before
copying the new short name so a rejected SET_LOCAL_NAME request does not
modify hdev->short_name.
