CVE-2024-22099 is a NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel Bluetooth RFCOMM subsystem, associated with RFCOMM socket allocation and handling in the Bluetooth core component. The flaw affects Linux kernel version 2.6.12-rc2. A low-privileged local user can reach the vulnerable Bluetooth/RFCOMM path and cause a kernel crash. Available vulnerability metadata characterizes the issue as a local denial-of-service condition; claims of buffer overflow are not sufficiently substantiated to characterize it as a separate memory-corruption primitive.
