Summary
Bluetooth: bcsp: receive data only if registered
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: bcsp: receive data only if registered

Currently, bcsp_recv() can be called even when the BCSP protocol has not been registered. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference, as shown in the following stack trace:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000108-0x000000000000010f]
RIP: 0010:bcsp_recv+0x13d/0x1740 drivers/bluetooth/hci_bcsp.c:590
Call Trace:

 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

To prevent this, ensure that the HCIUARTREGISTERED flag is set before processing received data. If the protocol is not registered, return -EUNATCH.
