A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s Bluetooth implementation handled L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol) packets with A2MP (Alternate MAC-PHY Manager Protocol) CID (Channel Identifier).

The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
