Summary

In the Linux kernel, the Bluetooth L2CAP stack lacks a NULL check in the l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb() function, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could crash the system by sending specially crafted Bluetooth packets, leading to denial of service.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds a NULL check in l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb(), similar to other functions.
