Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.

Original description The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Call iso_exit() on module unload
If iso_init() has been called, iso_exit() must be called on module
unload. Without that, the struct proto that iso_init() registered with
proto_register() becomes invalid, which could cause unpredictable
problems later. In my case, with CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED and
CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION enabled, loading the module again usually
triggers this BUG():
list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffffffffb5355fd0),
but was 0000000000000068. (next=ffffffffc0a010d0).
