## Overview

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

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix null-ptr-deref in l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb()

Add the same NULL guard already present in
l2cap_sock_resume_cb() and l2cap_sock_ready_cb().

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 3.1, < 5.10.258`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.209`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.175`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.140`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.88`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.18.30`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 7.0.7`
- `linux_kernel = 7.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 7.0.7`
