Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.88%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.
