Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth component. A Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability exists in the l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() and l2cap_conn_del() functions. This flaw occurs due to a race condition during the cleanup of a listening socket and a concurrent Bluetooth (HCI) disconnect. An unprivileged local attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a system crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
