CVE-2022-50833

n the Linux kernel’s Bluetooth subsystem there is a flaw in the way Bluetooth HCI work items are queued. Under certain conditions, work associated with command timeouts (hdev->{cmd,ncmd}_timer) could be scheduled on the wrong workqueue while the intended workqueue is being drained. This occurs because the queuing logic did not fully account for workqueue destruction and lacked proper synchronization. An unprivileged local user interacting with Bluetooth interfaces may be able to trigger a system crash or denial of service by causing this improper scheduling
