CVE-2022-49116

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: use memset avoid memory leaks

Use memset to initialize structs to prevent memory leaks in l2cap_ecred_connect

The bug is that if L2CAP being used during Bluetooth connection, then data leak could happen. Means that some of the data area not initialized by zeros, so random data could potentially leak as result of l2cap_ecred_connect function usage. The security impact is limited, because this data structure being initialized with some actual data and cases when actually some random bytes leakage could happen limited.
