  • Linux Linux: 2.6.39

How to check

  1. Find out whether you run the affected product and which version, then compare it with the versions above.

How to fix

Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex that asks it to check whether you run this product.
  1. Apply the vendor's update or mitigation from the references below. If there is none yet, limit exposure of the affected service until there is.
  2. If a vulnerable version was live, check your logs and rotate the secrets that server could read.

The advisory

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: mgmt: fix UAF in pair command cancellation The pairing completion and authentication failure callbacks look up the pending MGMT_OP_PAIR_DEVICE command by walking hdev->mgmt_pending. The lookup returned a command that was still linked on the shared pending list, without keeping mgmt_pending_lock held for the later dereference and removal. A concurrent MGMT_OP_CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE request can remove and free the same pending command before the callback uses it. The reverse race is also possible when cancel_pair_device() gets a command from pending_find() and a callback removes it before the cancel path dereferences it. This can lead to a use-after-free and a second list_del(). Make the pairing lookup helpers transfer ownership of the pending command by removing it from hdev->mgmt_pending while holding mgmt_pending_lock. The callbacks and cancel path then complete the command and free it directly, so racing paths cannot find or free the same command again. Take a temporary hci_conn reference in cancel_pair_device() because the command completion drops the reference stored in the pending command.

Check your whole app

Dependencies are only half of it. Free and read-only: before you push, run npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000 in your project folder, no account needed. For your live app, you prove it's yours with a one-line tag first.
