CVE-2025-40318 is a race condition in the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem. The hci_cmd_sync_dequeue_once() function performs command entry lookup and cancellation in separate lock sections, allowing hci_cmd_sync_work() to remove the same entry between these operations. This can cause a double list_del() operation and use-after-free. The fix holds cmd_sync_work_lock across both lookup and cancellation to prevent concurrent removal.

A race condition in the Linux kernel Bluetooth hci_sync hci_cmd_sync_dequeue_once function. Affected Rocky Linux 10.1 kernel packages have security updates under CIQ advisory crlsa-2026_1690.
A race condition in the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem allows concurrent deletion of a command synchronization entry, causing a double list deletion and use-after-free. The reference assigns a CVSS v3 score of 8.8, with an adjacent-network attack vector and potentially high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The fix holds cmd_sync_work_lock across both lookup and cancellation. The recommended remediation is to update the Echo linux package and related packages to version 6.1.159-1 or later.
