Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-80764

critical Nessus Plugin ID 343042

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_event: fix LE list UAF on reset hci_cc_reset() clears the LE accept and resolving lists without taking hdev->lock. Other command-complete handlers serialize updates to these lists with that lock, and the debugfs readers hold it while walking them. This permits the reset completion and a debugfs read to interleave as follows: hci_rx_work debugfs reader ----------- -------------- lock hdev->lock fetch current entry list_del(entry) kfree(entry) read entry fields The reader then dereferences a freed list entry and may follow its stale next pointer. KASAN reported: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in white_list_show+0x15f/0x180 Read of size 1 at addr ffff8881015dab16 by task poc/95 Call Trace:

This matches the existing mutation and traversal locking convention. (CVE-2026-80764)

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