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

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