What is CVE-2022-48947?

Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix u8 overflow
By keep sending L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets, chan->num_conf_rsp increases multiple times and eventually it will wrap around the maximum number (i.e., 255). This patch prevents this by adding a boundary check with L2CAP_MAX_CONF_RSP
