CVE-2026-80819: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: take rfcomm_mutex for the deferred setup accept

Q: What conditions are needed to trigger the race?

The RFCOMM socket must use deferred setup, and a receive operation must complete that setup while a disconnect or teardown path concurrently closes the RFCOMM session. The vulnerable path calls rfcomm_dlc_accept() without holding rfcomm_mutex while teardown can invalidate the session it dereferences.

Q: What is the likely impact if the race occurs?

The deferred setup accept path can dereference d->session after concurrent teardown. This can result in a kernel memory-safety failure; the provided data does not specify a more precise impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions are needed to trigger the race?

The RFCOMM socket must use deferred setup, and a receive operation must complete that setup while a disconnect or teardown path concurrently closes the RFCOMM session. The vulnerable path calls rfcomm_dlc_accept() without holding rfcomm_mutex while teardown can invalidate the session it dereferences.

What is the likely impact if the race occurs?

The deferred setup accept path can dereference d->session after concurrent teardown. This can result in a kernel memory-safety failure; the provided data does not specify a more precise impact.

How can I determine whether my kernel includes the fix?

Check whether your kernel incorporates one of the referenced stable commits: d8d686dd5662a7c4745e4515f1237a9f3b7df181, eb71d5a1ea8ff2683e394b48ae3cd676037ab4c2, or 56f0aa75c7640e46397ef73bea251fcbef9150c0. The fix ensures the deferred setup accept path takes rfcomm_mutex before calling rfcomm_dlc_accept().
