NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_8-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_8-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

Bluetooth: btbcm: Fix NULL deref in btbcm_get_board_name()

devm_kstrdup() can return a NULL pointer on failure,but this returned value in btbcm_get_board_name() is not checked. Add NULL check in btbcm_get_board_name(), to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference error.
