Summary

In the Linux kernel, the Bluetooth hci_qca driver has a NULL pointer dereference in qca_setup() for non-serdev devices. hu->serdev is NULL, and the function unconditionally calls serdev_device_get_drvdata(hu->serdev), causing a crash. The fix adds a NULL check before dereferencing.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could cause a system crash (kernel panic) by attaching a malformed Bluetooth device, leading to denial of service.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for CVE-2026-74304. If not possible, restrict access to Bluetooth interfaces for unauthorized users.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_qca: fix NULL pointer dereference in qca_setup() for non-serdev device hu->serdev is NULL for hci_uart attached via non-serdev paths, but qca_setup() unconditionally calls serdev_device_get_drvdata(hu->serdev) and dereferences the result, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Fix by guarding the dereference with a NULL check, consistent with the rest of qca_setup().
