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-2026-64178 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-2026-64178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64178/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64178","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-64178","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64178","GHSA-8h46-ffj6-v52h","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64178"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"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 BNEP module requires CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to exploit, limiting its security impact.","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: bnep: Fix UAF read of dev-\u003ename\n\nbnep_add_connection() needs to keep holding the bnep_session_sem while\nreading dev-\u003ename (just like bnep_get_connlist() does); otherwise the\nbnep_session() thread can concurrently free the net_device, which can for\nexample be triggered by a concurrent bnep_del_connection().\n\n(This UAF is fairly uninteresting from a security perspective;\ncalling bnep_add_connection() requires passing a capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)\ncheck.
