common questions

Is CVE-2026-63975 being exploited?

Not confirmed. CVE-2026-63975 does not appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which records only exploitation that has been observed and reported publicly. That is evidence of absence of a report, not evidence the flaw is unattacked. EPSS currently estimates a 0.35% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.

How severe is CVE-2026-63975?

CVE-2026-63975 is rated High with a CVSS score of 8.8. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.

Is there a patch for CVE-2026-63975?

Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2026-63975. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.

What does CVE-2026-63975 affect?

CVE-2026-63975 affects Linux kernel (Bluetooth L2CAP subsystem), Linux-based devices with Bluetooth (servers, desktops, embedded, Android kernels). Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.

What should I do about CVE-2026-63975?

Apply vendor/kernel updates; disable Bluetooth if immediate patching isn't possible.

Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.

As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.
