CVE-2022-49910 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel Bluetooth L2CAP implementation. A race occurs between l2cap_reassemble_sdu, which queues a socket buffer through the socket receive callback, and bt_sock_recvmsg, which can immediately dequeue and free that buffer. Some callers continue accessing struct l2cap_ctrl in the buffer's control area after l2cap_reassemble_sdu returns, resulting in access to freed memory. A KASAN report demonstrates a one-byte use-after-free read in l2cap_rx_state_recv. The fix preserves a local copy of struct l2cap_ctrl.
