Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the l2cap_chan_timeout process. An attacker can cause kernel memory corruption, information disclosure, or potentially achieve arbitrary code execution by creating a half-configured L2CAP channel over Bluetooth and then terminating the ACL connection while the channel timer is still active. This can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated Bluetooth peer within radio range, without user interaction.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
