In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: serialize security confirmation handling
rfcomm_security_cfm() looks up a session on session_list and then walks
its DLC list without holding rfcomm_mutex. Since RFCOMM session teardown
uses rfcomm_mutex, krfcommd can close and free the same session and DLCs
concurrently:
hci_rx_work krfcommd
----------- ---------
rfcomm_session_get()
rfcomm_lock()
rfcomm_session_close()
rfcomm_dlc_unlink()
rfcomm_session_del()
kfree(s)
rfcomm_unlock()
walk s->dlcs
The callback can then read a freed session list head and touch freed DLCs
while updating their flags or timers.
Serialize the session lookup and DLC traversal in rfcomm_security_cfm()
with rfcomm_mutex. This matches the existing RFCOMM session lifetime
rules and prevents concurrent rfcomm_session_del() / rfcomm_dlc_unlink()
from tearing the objects down while the callback is using them.

SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
