Summary
CVE-2026-98739 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: RFCOMM: Fix initial port reference race

For RFCOMM_RELEASE_ONHUP devices, rfcomm_tty_install() and __rfcomm_release_dev() both use RFCOMM_TTY_OWNED to decide who drops the initial tty_port reference. The release path tests the bit separately from the install path setting it, so both can drop that reference.

The synchronous hangup does not prevent this race: port->tty is not assigned until tty_port_open(), after installation. The following interleaving is possible:

  1. Install and release each obtain a reference with rfcomm_dev_get().
  2. Release observes RFCOMM_TTY_OWNED clear.
  3. Install sets RFCOMM_TTY_OWNED and drops the initial reference.
  4. Release drops the same initial reference again.
  5. TTY cleanup drops its reference and frees the device.
  6. Release performs its final tty_port_put() on the freed port.

KASAN reported:

Use test_and_set_bit() in both paths so that only the caller that changes RFCOMM_TTY_OWNED from clear to set drops the initial reference. Each path keeps its own lookup reference until release or TTY cleanup, preserving the existing callback ordering and error handling.
