Summary

In the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem, a vulnerability was found where the HCI_CMD_DRAIN_WORKQUEUE flag is not set during device close. This can cause unnecessary timeouts to be queued during reset, leading to incorrect behavior.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential disruption of the Bluetooth stack, which may result in system instability or unexpected behavior during device reset operations.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit addressing the issue). Monitor official security advisories from your distribution.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_sync: Set HCI_CMD_DRAIN_WORKQUEUE during device close Since hci_dev_close_sync() can now be called during the reset path, we should also set HCI_CMD_DRAIN_WORKQUEUE. This avoids queuing timeouts while the hdev workqueue is being drained.
