Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Bluetooth: hci: fix null-ptr-deref in hci_read_supported_codecs<br />
<br />
Fix __hci_cmd_sync_sk() to return not NULL for unknown opcodes.<br />
<br />
__hci_cmd_sync_sk() returns NULL if a command returns a status event.<br />
However, it also returns NULL where an opcode doesn&#39;t exist in the<br />
hci_cc table because hci_cmd_complete_evt() assumes status = skb->data[0]<br />
for unknown opcodes.<br />
This leads to null-ptr-deref in cmd_sync for HCI_OP_READ_LOCAL_CODECS as<br />
there is no hci_cc for HCI_OP_READ_LOCAL_CODECS, which always assumes<br />
status = skb->data[0].<br />
<br />
