CVE-2026-80762
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix accept list UAF during suspend
hci_update_event_filter_sync() walks hdev->accept_list while sending a synchronous HCI command for each remote-wakeup device. The suspend path holds hdev->req_lock, but accept-list updates are serialized by hdev->lock. Consequently, remove_device() can free the current list entry during the controller wait.
The following interleaving causes the use-after-free:
hci_update_event_filter_sync() remove_device() fetch accept-list entry hci_set_event_filter_sync() wait for controller response hci_dev_lock() list_del() kfree() hci_dev_unlock() read the freed list.next
KASAN reported:

Snapshot the remote-wakeup addresses under hdev->lock. Release the lock before sending HCI commands. Clear the controller event filter before building the snapshot, and skip allocation and the second list traversal when there are no matching entries. This preserves the original filter and scan-state updates without retaining an accept-list node across a controller wait.
