cve 2024 58241

CVE-2024-58241 is a vulnerability in the Linux Bluetooth HCI core that involves a teardown race condition. The flaw allows delayed work (timers) to run against an HCI device after the device structure has begun to be torn down, potentially leading to slab-use-after-free and kernel oopses. The fix, accepted by upstream maintainers, cancels pending works synchronously during device removal. Administrators and device vendors are advised to install vendor-supplied kernel updates or backport the minimal patch. This tag covers discussion of the vulnerability, its impact, and remediation steps for Linux systems.
