Summary

In the Linux kernel Bluetooth btmtk driver, a memory leak occurs when urb submission fails or the submitted urb is killed. The setup_packet of the control urb is not freed in error paths, leading to memory leak.

Risk Assessment

The memory leak can gradually exhaust system resources, potentially causing system instability or denial of service (DoS) under prolonged operation or heavy Bluetooth usage.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that frees setup_packet in the btmtk driver error paths.
