CVE-2025-68306 — Bluetooth: btusb: mediatek: Fix kernel crash when releasing mtk iso interface

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btusb: mediatek: Fix kernel crash when releasing mtk iso interface When performing reset tests and encountering abnormal card drop issues that lead to a kernel crash, it is necessary to perform a null check before releasing resources to avoid attempting to release a null pointer. <4>[ 29.158070] Hardware name: Google Quigon sku196612/196613 board (DT) <4>[ 29.158076] Workqueue: hci0 hci_cmd_sync_work [bluetooth] <4>[ 29.158154] pstate: 20400009 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) <4>[ 29.158162] pc : klist_remove+0x90/0x158 <4>[ 29.158174] lr : klist_remove+0x88/0x158 <4>[ 29.158180] sp : ffffffc0846b3c00 <4>[ 29.158185] pmr_save: 000000e0 <4>[ 29.158188] x29: ffffffc0846b3c30 x28: ffffff80cd31f880 x27: ffffff80c1bdc058 <4>[ 29.158199] x26: dead000000000100 x25: ffffffdbdc624ea3 x24: ffffff80c1bdc4c0 <4>[ 29.158209] x23: ffffffdbdc62a3e6 x22: ffffff80c6c07000 x21: ffffffdbdc829290 <4>[ 29.158219] x20: 0000000000000000 x19: ffffff80cd3e0648 x18: 000000031ec97781 <4>[ 29.158229] x17: ffffff80c1bdc4a8 x16: ffffffdc10576548 x15: ffffff80c1180428 <4>[ 29.158238] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 000000000000e380 x12: 0000000000000018 <4>[ 29.158248] x11: ffffff80c2a7fd10 x10: 0000000000000000 x9 : 0000000100000000 <4>[ 29.158257] x8 : 0000000000000000 x7 : 7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f x6 : 2d7223ff6364626d <4>[ 29.158266] x5 : 0000008000000000 x4 : 0000000000000020 x3 : 2e7325006465636e <4>[ 29.158275] x2 : ffffffdc11afeff8 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : ffffffdc11be4d0c <4>[ 29.158285] Call trace: <4>[ 29.158290] klist_remove+0x90/0x158 <4>[ 29.158298] device_release_driver_internal+0x20c/0x268 <4>[ 29.158308] device_release_driver+0x1c/0x30 <4>[ 29.158316] usb_driver_release_interface+0x70/0x88 <4>[ 29.158325] btusb_mtk_release_iso_intf+0x68/0xd8 [btusb (HASH:e8b6 5)] <4>[ 29.158347] btusb_mtk_reset+0x5c/0x480 [btusb (HASH:e8b6 5)] <4>[ 29.158361] hci_cmd_sync_work+0x10c/0x188 [bluetooth (HASH:a4fa 6)] <4>[ 29.158430] process_scheduled_works+0x258/0x4e8 <4>[ 29.158441] worker_thread+0x300/0x428 <4>[ 29.158448] kthread+0x108/0x1d0 <4>[ 29.158455] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 <0>[ 29.158467] Code: 91343000 940139d1 f9400268 927ff914 (f9401297) <4>[ 29.158474] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- <0>[ 29.167129] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception <2>[ 29.167144] SMP: stopping secondary CPUs <4>[ 29.167158] ------------[ cut here ]------------

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
