Descriptions

There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect and l2cap_le_connect_req functions which may allow code execution and leaking kernel memory (respectively) remotely via Bluetooth. A remote attacker could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within proximity of the victim.

We recommend upgrading past commit https://www.google.com/url https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4 https://www.google.com/url

Existen vulnerabilidades de use-after-free en las funciones l2cap_connect y l2cap_le_connect_req del kernel de Linux net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c que pueden permitir la ejecución de código y la pérdida de memoria del kernel (respectivamente) de forma remota a través de Bluetooth. Un atacante remoto podría ejecutar código que filtre la memoria del kernel a través de Bluetooth si se encuentra cerca de la víctima. Recomendamos actualizar al commit anterior
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of logical link control and adaptation protocol (L2CAP), part of the Bluetooth stack in the l2cap_connect and l2cap_le_connect_req functions. An attacker with physical access within the range of standard Bluetooth transmission could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within proximity of the victim.
