Description
A flaw was found in the Bluetooth L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol) component of the Linux kernel. When a device receives a connection response with an already-assigned destination Channel Identifier (CID), the system may crash. This occurs because the kernel's procedure for discarding both channels in this scenario can lead to incorrect channel deletion, causing instability. This vulnerability can be triggered by a remote attacker sending a specially crafted Bluetooth L2CAP packet, potentially leading to a denial of service.
