Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_uart: Fix another race during initialization Do not set 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' before call 'hci_uart_register_dev()'.
Possible race is when someone calls 'hci_tty_uart_close()' after this bit
is set, but 'hci_uart_register_dev()' wasn't done. This leads to access
to uninitialized fields. To fix it let's set this bit after device was
registered (as before patch c411c62cc133) and to fix previous problem let's
add one more bit in addition to 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' which allows to
perform power up without original bit set (pls see commit c411c62cc133). Crash backtrace from syzbot report: RIP: 0010:skb_queue_empty_lockless include/linux/skbuff.h:1887 [inline]
