Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ila: call nf_unregister_net_hooks() sooner syzbot found an use-after-free Read in ila_nf_input [1] Issue here is that ila_xlat_exit_net() frees the rhashtable,
then call nf_unregister_net_hooks(). It should be done in the reverse way, with a synchronize_rcu(). This is a good match for a pre_exit() method.

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
