CVE-2026-68389CVE-2026-68389
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_qca: Clear memdump state on invalid dump size
qca_controller_memdump() allocates qca->qca_memdump before processing
the first dump packet. For a sequence-zero packet it then disables IBS,
marks memdump collection active, and reads the advertised dump size.
If the controller reports a zero dump size, the error path frees the
local qca_memdump object and returns without clearing qca->qca_memdump
or undoing the collection state. A later memdump work item initializes
its local pointer from qca->qca_memdump and skips allocation when that
pointer is non-NULL, so it can operate on freed memory. The stale
collection and IBS-disabled flags can also leave waiters or later
transmit handling blocked behind an aborted dump.
Clear the saved pointer and memdump state before returning from the
invalid-size path, matching the cleanup used when hci_devcd_init() fails.
A static analysis checker reported the stale memd
