Description Doran Moppert 2021-07-22 03:24:54 UTC 
bluetoothd from bluez incorrectly saves adapters' Discoverable status when a device is powered down, and restores it when powered up.  If a device is powered down while discoverable, it will be discoverable when powered on again.  This could lead to inadvertent exposure of the bluetooth stack to physically proximate attackers.
