Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-80762

critical Nessus Plugin ID 343013

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix accept list UAF during suspend hci_update_event_filter_sync() walks hdev->accept_list while sending a synchronous HCI command for each remote-wakeup device. The suspend path holds hdev->req_lock, but accept-list updates are serialized by hdev->lock. Consequently, remove_device() can free the current list entry during the controller wait. The following interleaving causes the use- after-free: hci_update_event_filter_sync() remove_device() fetch accept-list entry hci_set_event_filter_sync() wait for controller response hci_dev_lock() list_del() kfree() hci_dev_unlock() read the freed list.next KASAN reported: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_suspend_sync+0x835/0x910 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88810bec8440 by task kworker/0:1/10 Workqueue:

Release the lock before sending HCI commands. Clear the controller event filter before building the snapshot, and skip allocation and the second list traversal when there are no matching entries. This preserves the original filter and scan-state updates without retaining an accept-list node across a controller wait. (CVE-2026-80762)

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