What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to address this issue by freeing the setup_packet in all error paths. Users should update to the fixed kernel version once available. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the input; check the vendor advisory or Linux kernel release notes for the exact fixed versions and update accordingly.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths The setup_packet of control urb is not freed if usb_submit_urb fails or the submitted urb is killed. Add free in these two paths.
