CVE-2026-98459
NONEDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: balance the parent hold in hci_bind_bis()
hci_conn_link() takes a lifetime reference to its parent with
hci_conn_get(), but only takes an operational hold on the child.
hci_conn_unlink() later balances both a hold and a reference on the
parent.
The SCO and CIS paths pass a parent acquired from a connect helper, so
it already has a hold. For an additional BIS, hci_bind_bis() obtains the
parent from hci_conn_hash_lookup_big(), which returns a bare pointer.
Unlinking the child then drops the parent's existing hold and can
schedule it for disconnection while its socket is still using it.
Take a hold on the parent before linking it and drop that hold if linking
fails. A successful link transfers the hold to hci_conn_unlink().
