  "details" : [ "An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.5. There is a use-after-free issue when hci_uart_register_dev() fails in hci_uart_set_proto() in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the HCI UART driver. A local attacker with access permissions to the Bluetooth device can issue an ioctl, which triggers the hci_uart_set_proto() function in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c. The flaw in this function can cause memory corruption or a denial of service because of a use-after-free issue when the hci_uart_register_dev() fails." ],
  "statement" : "This flaw is rated as a Moderate as it requires the local attacker to have permissions to issue ioctl commands to the bluetooth device and bluetooth hardware to be present.",
