This headline is a lie. A backdoor in a Bluetooth chip would be something which enabled a wireless attacker to gain code execution on the chip. This article reports on something which allows the device drivers of the attached device to gain code execution on the chip, which does not violate a security boundary.

(In a well-functioning journalism ecosystem, this would require a retraction and would significantly harm the reputation of the outlet that wrote it. Sadly this will not happen.)
