It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-40284 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40284/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40284/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40284","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40284/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40284","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-40284","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40284","GHSA-5w6m-vxmj-7w4c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-40284","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-40284","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-40284","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-40284","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40284"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel Bluetooth","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel Bluetooth MGMT subsystem allows a local attacker to cause a system crash by triggering a timer after device removal.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: MGMT: cancel mesh send timer when hdev removed\n\nmesh_send_done timer is not canceled when hdev is removed, which causes\ncrash if the timer triggers after hdev is gone.\n\nCancel the timer when MGMT removes the hdev, like other MGMT timers.\n\nShould fix the BUG: sporadically seen by BlueZ test bot\n(in \"Mesh - Send cancel - 1\" test).\n\nLog:\n------\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in run_timer_softirq+0x76b/0x7d0\n...\nFreed by task 36:\n kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x50\n kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30\n __kasan_save_free_info+0x3a/0x60\n __kasan_slab_free+0x43/0x70\n kfree+0x103/0x500\n device_release+0x9a/0x210\n kobject_put+0x100/0x1e0\n vhci_release+0x18b/0x240\n------","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Bluetooth: MGMT: cancel mesh send timer when hdev removed","id":"CVE-2025-40284","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"smb/server: fix possible refcount leak in smb2_sess_setup()","id":"CVE-2025-40285"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Bluetooth: btusb: reorder cleanup in btusb_disconnect to avoid UAF","id":"CVE-2025-40283"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel Bluetooth MGMT subsystem allows a local attacker to cause a system crash by triggering a timer after device removal.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40284/"}
