CVE-2026-23395
Published: March 25, 2026· Updated: Mar 25, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix accepting multiple L2CAP_ECRED_CONN_REQ
Currently the code attempts to accept requests regardless of the
command identifier which may cause multiple requests to be marked
as pending (FLAG_DEFER_SETUP) which can cause more than
L2CAP_ECRED_MAX_CID(5) to be allocated in l2cap_ecred_rsp_defer
causing an overflow.
The spec is quite clear that the same identifier shall not be used on
subsequent requests:
'Within each signaling channel a different Identifier shall be used
for each successive request or indication.'

So this attempts to check if there are any channels pending with the
same identifier and rejects if any are found.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-23395 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
