Remote code execution via Bluetooth callback use-after-free
Published Oct 6, 2026 · Updated Oct 6, 2026
A use-after-free in Google Android's BluetoothCccHandlerCallbackImpl allows remote attackers to execute code over nearby Bluetooth links. The callback in bluetooth_ccc.cc can access freed memory because of a logic error; Google has not disclosed the precise trigger or object-lifetime mistake. An affected device must be reachable over Bluetooth, but pairing requirements are undisclosed; the record reports no required user interaction or additional execution privileges.
