CVE-2024-46680 Affecting kernel-obs-build package, versions <6.4.0-150600.23.30.1

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-obs-build package and not the kernel-obs-build package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Fix random crash seen while removing driver

This fixes the random kernel crash seen while removing the driver, when running the load/unload test over multiple iterations.

1. modprobe btnxpuart
2. hciconfig hci0 reset
3. hciconfig (check hci0 interface up with valid BD address)
4. modprobe -r btnxpuart Repeat steps 1 to 4

The ps_wakeup() call in btnxpuart_close() schedules the psdata->work(), which gets scheduled after module is removed, causing a kernel crash.

This hidden issue got highlighted after enabling Power Save by default in 4183a7be7700 (Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Enable Power Save feature on startup)

The new ps_cleanup() deasserts UART break immediately while closing serdev device, cancels any scheduled ps_work and destroys the ps_lock mutex.
