Official Description

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

Bluetooth: purge error queues in socket destructors

When TX timestamping is enabled via SO_TIMESTAMPING, SKBs may be queued

into sk_error_queue and will stay there until consumed. If userspace never

gets to read the timestamps, or if the controller is removed unexpectedly,

these SKBs will leak.

Fix by adding skb_queue_purge() calls for sk_error_queue in affected

bluetooth destructors. RFCOMM does not currently use sk_error_queue.
