CVE-2024-56653 (published 2024-12-27)
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.
