In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: btmtk: avoid UAF in btmtk_process_coredump

hci_devcd_append may lead to the release of the skb, so it cannot be accessed once it is called.

Check if we need to call hci_devcd_complete before calling hci_devcd_append. That requires that we check data->cd_info.cnt >= MTK_COREDUMP_NUM instead of data->cd_info.cnt > MTK_COREDUMP_NUM, as we increment data->cd_info.cnt only once the call to hci_devcd_append succeeds.
