Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-42895
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap core.c's `l2cap parse conf req` function, which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. This vulnerability is associated with the use of an uninitialized variable `efs` in the `l2cap parse conf req()` function.
**Recommendations**
Upgrade past commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `l2cap parse conf req` function in the net/bluetooth/l2cap core.c file until a patch is available.
