The hci_dev struct hdev is referenced in work queues and timers started by open() in some protocols. This creates a race between the initialization function and the work or timer which can result hdev being dereferenced while it is still null. The syzbot report contains a reliable reproducer which causes a null pointer dereference of hdev in hci_uart_write_work() by making the memory allocation for hdev fail. To fix this, ensure hdev is valid from before calling a protocol's open() until after calling a protocol's close().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
