Although this is the Bluetooth subsystem, the mgmt interface is a local control API and no over-the-air data from an adjacent peer drives either side of the race.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: one thread issues MGMT_OP_SET_POWERED (whose completion frees the pending command and its socket from the hci_cmd_sync workqueue) while another spams commands such as MGMT_OP_REMOVE_ADV_MONITOR that traverse the same unlocked list. syzbot reproduced this reliably and confirmed the fix on two separate reports.\nPR:L - Binding the control channel requires no capability, and the mgmt commands involved require the HCI_SOCK_TRUSTED flag granted by CAP_NET_ADMIN \u2014 a capability held by non-root Bluetooth daemons (e.g. Android\u0027s bluetooth UID), which is exactly the low-privileged component an attacker lands in after compromising the remote-facing stack. This matches the CNA precedent for the identical mgmt_pending list bug class (CVE-2026-31511).\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the race entirely from its own threads via socket writes; no victim action, mount, or file open is needed.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap state within the same kernel security authority, giving local privilege escalation rather than crossing a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - `hci_sock_get_channel()` reads freed `struct sock` memory, and because `hci_sk_proto` has no dedicated slab the object is allocated with plain kmalloc into a sprayable general-purpose cache; a groomed reclaim lets `pending_find()` return a command with a dangling `sk`, after which `mgmt_cmd_status()`/`mgmt_cmd_complete()` operate on attacker-shaped memory, yielding kernel information disclosure.\nI:H - Concurrent `list_del`/`list_add_tail` on `hdev-\u003emgmt_pending` with no lock corrupts the doubly-linked list, and `list_del` on a stale entry writes attacker-influenced pointers into freed memory; combined with operations on a freed, function-pointer-laden `struct sock`, this provides write and control-flow-hijack primitives.\nA:H - The bug is a KASAN-confirmed slab-use-after-free that oopses the kernel, and the accompanying list corruption and potential double free of the pending command reliably panic the system."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
