Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btrtl: Prevent potential NULL dereference
The btrtl_initialize() function checks that rtl_load_file() either had an error or it loaded a zero length file. However, if it loaded a zero length file then the error code is not set correctly. It results in an error pointer vs NULL bug, followed by a NULL pointer dereference. This was detected by Smatch:
drivers/bluetooth/btrtl.c:592 btrtl_initialize() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HWeakness enumeration
