Se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad, clasificada como crítica, en el Kernel de Linux. Está afectada la función l2cap_conn_del del archivo net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c del componente Bluetooth. La manipulación conlleva a un uso de memoria previamente liberada. Es recomendado aplicar un parche para corregir este problema. El identificador de esta vulnerabilidad es VDB-211944

A vulnerability was found in the Linux Kernel in the l2cap_conn_del in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c function in the Bluetooth component. This issue leads to a use-after-free problem.

It was discovered that the Upper Level Protocol subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle sockets entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Kernel Connection Multiplexor socket implementation in the Linux kernel when releasing sockets in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
