Overview

What is CVE-2026-74537?

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: ISO: hold sk properly in iso_conn_ready

sk deref in iso_conn_ready must be done either under conn->lock, or holding a refcount, to avoid concurrent close. conn->sk is currently accessed without either:

[Task 1] [Task 2] iso_sock_release iso_conn_ready sk = conn->sk lock_sock(sk) conn->sk = NULL lock_sock(sk) release_sock(sk) iso_sock_kill(sk) UAF on sk deref

Fix possible UAF by holding sk refcount in iso_conn_ready(). Also recheck after lock_sock that the socket is still valid.

Adjust locking so conn->sk is cleared only under lock_sock.
