UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64471: Use After Free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btusb: fix use-after-free on registration failure Make sure to release the sibling interfaces in case controller registration fails to avoid use-after-free and double-free when they are eventually disconnected. This issue was reported by Sashiko while reviewing a fix for a wakeup source leak in the btusb probe errors paths.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ubuntu kernel packages are in scope?
The affected software list includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-aws, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp, and ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips.
Under what condition does the memory-safety issue occur?
It occurs when Bluetooth USB controller registration fails. If sibling interfaces are not released in that error path, their later disconnection can trigger use-after-free and double-free conditions.
How can I determine whether a system is exposed?
Identify whether the system is running one of the listed Ubuntu kernel package variants and uses Bluetooth USB hardware. The provided information does not include affected or fixed package versions, so version-level status cannot be determined from this record alone.
