Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: Fix memory leak in hci_req_sync_complete() In 'hci_req_sync_complete()', always free the previous sync
request state before assigning reference to a new one.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Bluetooth: corrija la pérdida de memoria en hci_req_sync_complete() En 'hci_req_sync_complete()', libere siempre el estado de solicitud de sincronización anterior antes de asignar una referencia a una nueva.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: Fix memory leak in hci_req_sync_complete() In 'hci_req_sync_complete()', always free the previous sync request state before assigning reference to a new one.

黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
