In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_ldisc: Clear HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT on error
When hci_register_dev() fails in hci_uart_register_dev()
HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT is not cleared before calling hu->proto->close(hu)
and setting hu->hdev to NULL. This means incoming UART data will reach
the protocol-specific recv handler in hci_uart_tty_receive() after
resources are freed.
Clear HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT with a write lock before calling
hu->proto->close() and setting hu->hdev to NULL. The write lock ensures
all active readers have completed and no new reader can enter the
protocol recv path before resources are freed.
This allows the protocol-specific recv functions to remove the
"HCI_UART_REGISTERED" guard without risking a null pointer dereference
if hci_register_dev() fails.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (HCI) Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) driver. When the hci_register_dev() function fails, a flag indicating protocol initialization is not properly cleared. This oversight allows incoming UART data to be processed by the protocol-specific receive handler after its associated resources have been released, potentially leading to a null pointer dereference. This vulnerability could result in a system crash, causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
