Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_conn: return ERR_PTR instead of NULL when there is no link
hci_connect_sco currently returns NULL when there is no link (i.e. when
hci_conn_link() returns NULL).
sco_connect() expects an ERR_PTR in case of any error (see line 266 in
sco.c). Thus, hcon set as NULL passes through to sco_conn_add(), which
tries to get hcon->hdev, resulting in dereferencing a NULL pointer as
reported by syzkaller.
The same issue exists for iso_connect_cis() calling hci_connect_cis().
Thus, make hci_connect_sco() and hci_connect_cis() return ERR_PTR
instead of NULL.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (HCI) connection handling. A local user could exploit this vulnerability when the hci_connect_sco function returns a NULL pointer instead of an error pointer when no link is present. This improper handling of exceptional conditions leads to a NULL pointer dereference, which can result in a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).
