Last modified
CVE-2024-38620 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: HCI: Remove HCI_AMP support Since BT_HS has been remove HCI_AMP controllers no longer has any use so remove it along with the capability of creating AMP controllers. Since we no longer need to differentiate between AMP and Primary controllers, as only HCI_PRIMARY is left, this also remove hdev->dev_type altogether.. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
