In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix slab-use-after-free in l2cap_connect() Extend a
critical section to prevent chan from early freeing. Also make the
l2cap_connect() return type void. Nothing is using the returned value but
it is ugly to return a potentially freed pointer. Making it void will help
with backports because earlier kernels did use the return value. Now the
compile will break for kernels where this patch is not a complete fix. Call
