Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost/scsi: null-ptr-dereference in vhost_scsi_get_req() Since commit 3f8ca2e115e5 ("vhost/scsi: Extract common handling code
from control queue handler") a null pointer dereference bug can be
triggered when guest sends an SCSI AN request. In vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_vq(), `vc.target` is assigned with
`&v_req.tmf.lun[1]` within a switch-case block and is then passed to
vhost_scsi_get_req() which extracts `vc->req` and `tpg`. However, for
a `VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_*` request, tpg is not required, so `vc.target` is
set to NULL in this branch. Later, in vhost_scsi_get_req(),
`vc->target` is dereferenced without being checked, leading to a null
pointer dereference bug. This bug can be triggered from guest. When this bug occurs, the vhost_worker process is killed while holding
`vq->mutex` and the corresponding tpg will remain occupied
indefinitely. Below is the KASAN report:

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
