Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-53207
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.8.0-2024-03-19-intel-next-iLS-24ww14
**Description**
The issue is related to possible deadlocks in the Bluetooth management (MGMT) component of the Linux kernel, caused by the `hci cmd sync dequeue` function. This can lead to a task being blocked for more than 120 seconds. The problem is associated with the `mgmt set connectable complete` function and the `hci cmd sync work` workqueue.
**Recommendations**
To resolve the issue, update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix for the deadlock issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Bluetooth functionality until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the Bluetooth management interface to minimize the risk of exploitation.
