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