CVE-2022-48878 — Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix driver shutdown on closed serdev

Affected: Linux

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

Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix driver shutdown on closed serdev

The driver shutdown callback (which sends EDL_SOC_RESET to the device over serdev) should not be invoked when HCI device is not open (e.g. if hci_dev_open_sync() failed), because the serdev and its TTY are not open either. Also skip this step if device is powered off (qca_power_shutdown()).

The shutdown callback causes use-after-free during system reboot with Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth:
