As per the comment in include/linux/net.h, the recvfrom handlers should expect msg_name to be NULL. However, bt_sock_recvmsg() is currently not checking it, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. The following NULL pointer dereference was produced while testing L2CAP datagram reception. Note that the kernel is tainted due to the r8723bs module being inserted. However, it seems the fix still applies. $ l2test -r -G l2test[326]: Receiving ...
