CVE-2026-31408 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel Bluetooth SCO subsystem, in sco_recv_frame(). The function reads conn->sk while holding sco_conn_lock() but releases the lock without retaining a socket reference. A concurrent close() can then free the socket before sco_recv_frame() accesses sk->sk_state. The flaw was introduced in Linux 2.6.12. The upstream correction obtains the socket reference with sco_sock_hold() before releasing the lock and releases it with sock_put() on all exit paths.
