Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw88: always wait for both firmware loading attempts In 'rtw_wait_firmware_completion()', always wait for both (regular and
wowlan) firmware loading attempts. Otherwise if 'rtw_usb_intf_init()'
has failed in 'rtw_usb_probe()', 'rtw_usb_disconnect()' may issue
'ieee80211_free_hw()' when one of 'rtw_load_firmware_cb()' (usually
the wowlan one) is still in progress, causing UAF detected by KASAN.

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.
