Bluetooth disruption via unlocked debugfs bound checks
Published Feb 5, 2024 · Updated May 12, 2026
A race condition in Linux kernel Bluetooth before 6.8-rc2 allows local users with debugfs write access to disrupt connections or crash. The conn_info_min_age_set and conn_info_max_age_set functions compare shared bounds before acquiring the device lock, so concurrent writes can violate the minimum-and-maximum invariant. The affected entries are restricted to root by default, and successful exploitation can corrupt connection settings or interrupt the system.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
