High CVSS 8.8

CVE-2026-72334

NVD analysis in progress

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix malformed ISO_END/CONT handling Core specification (Part C vol 4 sec 5.4.5) does not exclude empty ISO_CONT, ISO_END packets. We currently reject them if they are last. If controller sends malformed sequence ISO_START -> rx_len = 4, ISO_CONT skb->len 4, ISO_START that ends payload in ISO_CONT, we leak conn->rx_skb. If controller sends too long ISO_END, we panic on skb_put. If controller sends too short ISO_END we accept it. Fix by marking unfinished ISO_START via conn->rx_skb != NULL. Check skb->len properly before skb_put. Combine the ISO_CONT/END code paths as they require the same initial checks. Reject too short ISO_END packets.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable from the adjacent network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
