CVE-2024-24858: Race condition vulnerability in Linux kernel net/bluetooth in {conn,adv}_{min,max}_interval_set()

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth in {conn,adv}_{min,max}_interval_set() function. This can result in I2cap connection or broadcast abnormality issue, possibly leading to denial of service.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This is a Linux kernel Bluetooth race condition that can disrupt Bluetooth connections or broadcasts and potentially cause denial of service. The public record rates it medium severity because exploitation appears constrained by adjacent access, high privileges, high complexity, and user interaction.

Executive priority

Treat as a moderate operational availability risk, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize normal kernel patching, with higher urgency for Bluetooth-enabled endpoints, embedded devices, and operational technology covered by vendor advisories.

Technical view

CVE-2024-24858 is CWE-362 in Linux kernel net/bluetooth {conn,adv}_{min,max}_interval_set(). The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:A/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H, indicating no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and high availability impact.

Likely exposure

Systems running affected Linux kernel builds with Bluetooth functionality are the relevant exposure. The provided affected-version data is sparse, listing Linux kernel v4.0-rc1 and default status unaffected, so teams should verify against their distribution and device-vendor advisories.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation is not broadly remote and would require adjacent access, high attack complexity, high privileges, and user interaction.

Researcher notes

Evidence supports a Bluetooth kernel race condition with denial-of-service potential, but the bundle lacks detailed fixed-version ranges and exploit details. Avoid assuming broader Linux impact beyond vendor-confirmed affected builds.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Linux distribution and device-vendor advisories for applicable kernel updates.
  • Prioritize updates for systems where Bluetooth is enabled or operationally required.
  • Review Debian LTS, OpenAnolis, and Siemens advisories for environment-specific guidance.
  • Where Bluetooth is unnecessary, evaluate disabling it under approved operational policy.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Linux kernel versions on systems with Bluetooth capability.
  • Confirm whether installed kernels match affected vendor advisory ranges.
  • Verify Bluetooth is disabled where policy says it should be disabled.
  • Confirm patched kernel packages are installed after maintenance.
