CVE-2025-38250

CVSS v3.1

7.8

High

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description: A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the vhci flush() function within the Bluetooth HCI core of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability occurs when a thread closes a vhci file descriptor while another thread is still accessing it via iotcl(). This can lead to a slab-use-after-free condition, potentially resulting in system instability or other undefined behavior. The issue arises from a lack of synchronization after unlinking the hdev from the hci dev list in hci unregister dev().
Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
