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-2026-23462 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2026-23462/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23462/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23462","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23462/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23462","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23462","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23462","GHSA-2m32-7xgm-rmj6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-23462","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-23462","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23462","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23462","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23462","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23462"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel Bluetooth","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel Bluetooth HIDP module allows attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: HIDP: Fix possible UAF\n\nThis fixes the following trace caused by not dropping l2cap_conn\nreference when user-\u003eremove callback is called:\n\n[   97.809249] l2cap_conn_free: freeing conn ffff88810a171c00\n[   97.809907] CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 1419 Comm: repro_standalon Not tainted 7.0.0-rc1-dirty #14 PREEMPT(lazy)\n[   97.809935] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.17.0-debian-1.17.0-1 04/01/2014\n[   97.809947] Call Trace:\n[   97.809954]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[   97.809961]  dump_stack_lvl (lib/dump_stack.c:122)\n[   97.809990]  l2cap_conn_free (net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:1808)\n[   97.810017]  l2cap_conn_del (./include/linux/kref.h:66 net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:1821 net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:1798)\n[   97.810055]  l2cap_disconn_cfm (net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:7347 (discriminator 1) net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:7340 (discriminator 1))\n[   97.810086]  ?
