This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Bluetooth: hci_conn: return ERR_PTR instead of NULL when there is no link to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bluetooth-hci_conn-return-err_ptr-instead-of-null-wh.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 84ceed6bd7bd6b85f52b80362cae4ce3f2f0daf7 Author: Siddh Raman Pant <code@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 11 18:43:53 2023 +0530 Bluetooth: hci_conn: return ERR_PTR instead of NULL when there is no link [ Upstream commit b4066eb04bb67e7ff66e5aaab0db4a753f37eaad ] hci_connect_sco currently returns NULL when there is no link (i.e. when hci_conn_link() returns NULL). sco_connect() expects an ERR_PTR in case of any error (see line 266 in sco.c). Thus, hcon set as NULL passes through to sco_conn_add(), which tries to get hcon->hdev, resulting in dereferencing a NULL pointer as reported by syzkaller. The same issue exists for iso_connect_cis() calling hci_connect_cis(). Thus, make hci_connect_sco() and hci_connect_cis() return ERR_PTR instead of NULL.
