Bluetooth ISO data race via unlocked route fields
Published Jul 19, 2026 · Updated Jul 19, 2026
Race condition in Bluetooth ISO sockets in Linux Kernel allows local users to trigger a data race through concurrent socket operations. The iso_connect_bis(), iso_connect_cis(), iso_listen_bis(), and iso_conn_big_sync() paths read mutable iso_pi destination, source, and source-type fields in hci_get_route() without holding lock_sock(). Triggering requires connect() or setsockopt() to modify the same socket concurrently; published material reports KCSAN detection but no resulting crash, disclosure, or data change.

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.
