CVE-2026-98293: Bluetooth: ISO: Fix parent socket leak in iso_conn_ready()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)

  • 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: 0.17% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 6.6.158, 9228f87365e68a6cae191f57f456e89a6d2167cf, ca18ee413a7cb6f09885778039225e58bae0d607; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.158.1-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 6.6.158, 9228f87365e68a6cae191f57f456e89a6d2167cf, ca18ee413a7cb6f09885778039225e58bae0d607; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.158.1-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: Fix parent socket leak in iso_conn_ready() iso_get_sock() returns the parent socket with a reference held, which is dropped by sock_put() once the child socket has been set up. The error path taken when iso_sock_alloc() fails only calls release_sock() and returns, leaking the reference and thus the parent socket itself. Drop the reference on that path as well.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
