Vulnerability CVE-2024-36968

Published: 2024-06-08

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix div-by-zero in l2cap_le_flowctl_init()

l2cap_le_flowctl_init() can cause both div-by-zero and an integer
overflow since hdev->le_mtu may not fall in the valid range.

Move MTU from hci_dev to hci_conn to validate MTU and stop the connection
process earlier if MTU is invalid.
Also, add a missing validation in read_buffer_size() and make it return
an error value if the validation fails.
Now hci_conn_add() returns ERR_PTR() as it can fail due to the both a
kzalloc failure and invalid MTU value.
