A fix for this was posted 2 days ago: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/20201016180956.70..., together with something that appears to possibly be another important fix.
I see you posted a patch yourself: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/1603008332-8402-1..., perhaps the recipients of that should be directed towards Luiz's thread instead?

BleedingTooth: critical kernel Bluetooth vulnerability

Seems that I was not the only one who found this somehow wrong. I only reacted as the former patch did go 1:1 into the current stable kernels 4.19.x, 5.4.x.... Which I feel not so good about.

I do some kernel stuff and the stable kernels are not as stable as they were before so instead of complaining and fixing the issues I tried sending a patch to mainline the better idea.

Thanks for the link to the other patch which I will also look into as I need to fix this issue for 5.4.x and 5.9.x at work anyways. I added the information to the kernel mailinglist so other know also of this.
