Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth L2CAP stack may cause a system crash when handling ECRED connection response. The issue occurs when a destination channel ID (dcid) is already assigned, and attempting to delete the channel can corrupt the list structure used for iteration.

Risk Assessment

An attacker within Bluetooth range could trigger a kernel panic by sending a crafted L2CAP ECRED packet, leading to service disruption or data loss.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit 8b00c245c6b3 or later). For embedded systems with Bluetooth, prioritize applying the security patch.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix possible crash on l2cap_ecred_conn_rsp If dcid is received for an already-assigned destination CID the spec requires that both channels to be discarded, but calling l2cap_chan_del may invalidate the tmp cursor created by list_for_each_entry_safe and in fact it is the wrong procedure as the chan->dcid may be assigned previously it really needs to be disconnected. Calling l2cap_chan_clone directly may still lead to l2cap_chan_del so instead schedule l2cap_chan_timeout with delay 0 to close the channel asynchronously.
