Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem, specifically in the hci_ll component. A local user could exploit this vulnerability when the system attempts to download firmware. If the firmware content is invalid or empty after a successful request, the system fails to release the allocated resources, leading to a resource leak. This continuous resource depletion could eventually result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the system unstable or unresponsive.
