CVE-2026-52918: Bluetooth: serialize accept_q access

HighCVSS 8.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.21% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 41c8c1c7923e86e0eb59cfb4279349112756a336, 4ec17782fd186f901a7329605d11048b085b945a, 85f8674cae82053f1e6bab295f6a8422cca14db5; azl3 kernel 6.6.141.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.143.1-1.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 41c8c1c7923e86e0eb59cfb4279349112756a336, 4ec17782fd186f901a7329605d11048b085b945a, 85f8674cae82053f1e6bab295f6a8422cca14db5; azl3 kernel 6.6.141.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.143.1-1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: serialize accept_q access bt_sock_poll() walks the accept queue without synchronization, while child teardown can unlink the same socket and drop its last reference. The unsynchronized accept queue walk has existed since the initial Bluetooth import. Protect accept_q with a dedicated lock for queue updates and polling. Also rework bt_accept_dequeue() to take temporary child references under the queue lock before dropping it and locking the child socket.
