that path runs from HCI connect_cfm events (hci_le_cis_req_evt, BIG/PA sync) driven by LE isochronous traffic from peers in radio range, which is an adjacent attack surface.\nAC:L - This is a use-after-free race between iso_get_sock() and listener close (iso_sock_release/iso_sock_kill) before lock_sock(); an attacker who opens/closes an ISO listen socket while concurrent HCI CIS/BIS/PA completion runs controls both sides and can trigger it without uncontrollable conditions.\nPR:N - iso_sock_create has no capability check, and the vulnerable path is reached from unauthenticated HCI CIS/BIG/PA events processed for any Bluetooth-enabled device in range; listener close can occur from automatic LE Audio/bluetoothd teardown without privileged local credentials.\nUI:N - No victim action is required: iso_connect_ind returns HCI_LM_ACCEPT so incoming CIS/BIS/PA sync is auto-accepted when an ISO listener exists, and OS LE Audio stacks keep such listeners during normal broadcast/unicast operation.\nS:U - The UAF corrupts kernel socket/accept-queue memory and can enable privilege escalation within the host kernel; it does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU security boundary, so scope remains unchanged.\nC:H - Use-after-free of the listener struct sock (and later bt_accept_unlink of the dangling parent) lets an attacker reuse the freed sock/accept-queue object, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure via heap grooming per UAF guidance.\nI:H - The child is linked to the freed parent via iso_chan_add/bt_accept_enqueue; later iso_chan_del -> bt_accept_unlink writes the freed parent's accept queue (list_del, sk_acceptq_removed), a kernel heap write primitive usable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed listener in iso_chan_del/bt_accept_unlink (accept_q_lock, list, parent->sk_data_ready) causes kernel oops/panic; UAFs in this ISO path are a high availability impact even before full exploitation."}]}],"providerMetadata":{"dateUpdated":"2026-09-10T05:50:21.452Z","orgId":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","shortName":"Linux"},"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2387cd06a2c0b416f05028b02bba1089f54c28d9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49fd7116f76b860b230843700fb7423ab5331e1f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/03288b7447c9e572f8ab82fc29cfb4ca719ab210"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/560bef609fa5992745929e8d7d458b9d88dd2830"}],"title":"Bluetooth: ISO: fix use-after-free of listener socket in iso_conn_ready","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}},"cveMetadata":{"assignerOrgId":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","assignerShortName":"Linux","cveId":"CVE-2026-80914","datePublished":"2026-09-09T16:10:58.675Z","dateReserved":"2026-08-26T14:34:25.801Z","dateUpdated":"2026-09-10T05:50:21.452Z","state":"PUBLISHED"},"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2"},"nvd":{"publishedDate":"2026-09-09 17:17:46","lastModifiedDate":"2026-09-10 06:17:05","problem_types":[],"metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","type":"Secondary","cvssData":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":8.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","attackVector":"ADJACENT_NETWORK","attackComplexity":"LOW","privilegesRequired":"NONE","userInteraction":"NONE","scope":"UNCHANGED","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH","integrityImpact":"HIGH","availabilityImpact":"HIGH"},"exploitabilityScore":2.8,"impactScore":5.9}]},"configurations":[]},"legacy_mitre":{"record":{"CveYear":"2026","CveId":"80914","Ordinal":"1","Title":"Bluetooth: ISO: fix use-after-free of listener socket in iso_con","CVE":"CVE-2026-80914","Year":"2026"},"notes":[{"CveYear":"2026","CveId":"80914","Ordinal":"1","NoteData":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: ISO: fix use-after-free of listener socket in iso_conn_ready\n\niso_conn_ready() looks up the BIS listener socket with iso_get_sock(),\nwhich takes a reference, and then, without re-checking its state,\ncreates a child socket from it:\n\n    parent = iso_get_sock(hdev, ...);\n    if (!parent)\n        return;\n\n    lock_sock(parent);\n    sk = iso_sock_alloc(sock_net(parent), NULL, BTPROTO_ISO, ...);\n    ...\n    iso_chan_add(conn, sk, parent);\n    ...\n    release_sock(parent);\n    sock_put(parent);\n\nIf the listener socket is closed concurrently, between iso_get_sock()\nand lock_sock(), the reference taken by iso_get_sock() may be the last\none: the close path drops the link-list reference, and once\niso_conn_ready() drops its own reference at the end of the function the\nsocket is freed.
