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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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. (CVE-2026-74537)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
