CVE-2026-80914
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix use-after-free of listener socket in iso_conn_ready iso_conn_ready() looks up the BIS listener socket with iso_get_sock(), which takes a reference, and then, without re-checking its state, creates a child socket from it: parent = iso_get_sock(hdev, ...); if (!parent) return; lock_sock(parent); sk = iso_sock_alloc(sock_net(parent), NULL, BTPROTO_ISO, ...); ... iso_chan_add(conn, sk, parent); ... release_sock(parent); sock_put(parent); If the listener socket is closed concurrently, between iso_get_sock() and lock_sock(), the reference taken by iso_get_sock() may be the last one: the close path drops the link-list reference, and once iso_conn_ready() drops its own reference at the end of the function the socket is freed. The child socket, however, is already linked to the freed parent, and a later disconnect of the child runs iso_chan_del() -> bt_accept_unlink(), which dereferences the dangling parent pointer into the freed accept queue (a use-after-free). The same dangling pointer is also dereferenced through parent->***() in iso_chan_del(). Fix it the same way the connected (non-BIS) path was fixed in commit 0d255e63fcf3 ("Bluetooth: ISO: hold sk properly in iso_conn_ready"): after taking the socket lock, re-check that the parent is still a listening, alive socket, and bail out otherwise.

Affected products and versions
NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
