CVE-2026-93209
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: use skb_get() instead of skb_clone() for req_skb
BT enable fails intermittently with -ETIMEDOUT (-110). The kernel log shows the HCI Read Local Version command was sent and the firmware replied with status 0x00 (logged by hci_req_cmd_complete() BT_DBG), but the waiter in __hci_cmd_sync_sk() never woke up and timed out after 10 s:
The root cause is that hci_send_cmd_sync() clones the sent command into hdev->req_skb so that hci_req_cmd_complete() can locate the registered completion callback.

Under memory pressure this skb_clone() fails, leaving hdev->req_skb NULL. The firmware reply is received and processed, but hci_req_cmd_complete() finds NULL req_skb, so hci_cmd_sync_complete() is never called, req_status stays HCI_REQ_PEND, and the waiter times out with -ETIMEDOUT.
req_skb is only used to read bt_cb(skb)->hci callbacks and opcode -- it is never modified. Replace skb_clone() with skb_get(), which simply increments the reference count of hdev->sent_cmd without allocating new memory and therefore cannot fail.
This issue was first observed as a use-after-free in ttyport_close() when ttyport_open() failed, which was investigated in an earlier patch series [1]. That investigation led to the discovery of the true root cause described above.
