CVE-2026-74511

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: mgmt: fix pending command UAF in EIR updates MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME is handled asynchronously on powered controllers and can run set_name_sync(). When the controller is BR/EDR capable, set_name_sync() updates the local name and then rebuilds EIR data through eir_create(). The EIR builder walks hdev->uuids, but the UUID list can be changed and entries can be freed by MGMT_OP_ADD_UUID and MGMT_OP_REMOVE_UUID. pending_eir_or_class() is meant to serialize management commands that can change EIR or the class of device...
