Description

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

Bluetooth: btmtk: avoid UAF in btmtk_process_coredump

hci_devcd_append may lead to the release of the skb, so it cannot be
accessed once it is called.

==================================================================

Check if we need to call hci_devcd_complete before calling
hci_devcd_append. That requires that we check data->cd_info.cnt >=
MTK_COREDUMP_NUM instead of data->cd_info.cnt > MTK_COREDUMP_NUM, as we
increment data->cd_info.cnt only once the call to hci_devcd_append
succeeds.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
