Description

CVE-2026-64433 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth management subsystem. The flaw occurs in the add_device_complete() function, which accesses a freed object due to improper locking around hci_conn_params_lookup(). This can lead to memory corruption. The issue is fixed by ensuring the proper lock (hci_dev_lock) is held during the lookup and subsequent access. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to the fixed releases. A patch is available and should be applied to mitigate the risk.
