Thank you for the detailed report!

When I last touched the capi code, I tried to remove it all, but we then
left it in the kernel because the bluetooth cmtp code can still theoretically
use it.
May I ask how you managed to run into this? Did you find the bug through
inspection first and then produce it using cmtp, or did you actually use
cmtp?
If the only purpose of cmtp is now to be a target for exploits, then I
would suggest we consider removing both cmtp and capi for
good after backporting your fix to stable kernels. Obviously
if it turns out that someone actually uses cmtp and/or capi, we
should not remove it.

I would consider that a problem in cmtp, not in capi, though making
capi more robust as in your patch does address the immediate issue.

I think the API that is meant to be used here is
get_capi_ctr_by_nr(), which has that check.
