Thank you for sharing the links. Although I haven't found out how exactly
this "list_add double add" corruption would be exploited by an attacker
in the two resources or on the Internet (the closest one I can find is
CVE-2019-2215 which exploits list_del with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST disabled),
this should be an interesting bug and I'll learn more about Bluetooth to
fix it.
