Overview

What is CVE-2026-99013?

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

Bluetooth: ISO: Reject concurrent BIS listener setup

iso_sock_listen() drops the socket lock before calling iso_listen_bis() to preserve the hdev->lock ordering. Two concurrent listen() calls on the same broadcast socket can therefore both observe BT_BOUND.

Caller A can attach connA and release the locks, then caller B can acquire them and attach connB before A publishes BT_LISTEN.

__iso_chan_add() checks whether connB already has a socket, but not whether the socket already has a connection. The second attachment overwrites iso_pi(sk)->conn, leaking the connA reference and leaving connA->sk intact.

Socket teardown follows connB, so later events on connA can cause a stale socket access.

Recheck BT_BOUND and require iso_pi(sk)->conn to be NULL after taking both the HCI device and socket locks in iso_listen_bis(). The connection check also covers the interval between attachment and publication of BT_LISTEN.

Reject a competing setup with -EBADFD through the existing unlock path before allocating another connection.

A recorded KASAN report from an instrumented kernel shows:
