Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth L2CAP component. A race condition exists during the handling of new Bluetooth connections, where a newly created socket can be prematurely freed by another process before a callback function completes its operation. This use-after-free vulnerability could allow a local attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code or cause a system crash (Denial of Service).
