Description A memory leak exists in the Bluetooth MGMT subsystem, specifically within the set ssp complete() function. The issue arises from missing calls to mgmt pending free() in both success and error paths after commands are removed from the pending list. This results in a memory leak of mgmt pending cmd structures and their associated data for each Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) command that completes. The issue was also present in set advertising complete().
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
