CVE-2022-42895

An information leak vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of logical link control and adaptation protocol (L2CAP), part of the Bluetooth stack in the l2cap_parse_conf_req function. An attacker with physical access within the range of standard Bluetooth transmission could use this flaw to leak kernel pointers via Bluetooth if within proximity of the victim.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is not affected by this flaw as it did not include support for parsing Extended Flow Specification option in L2CAP Config Request (upstream commit 42dceae2).
