In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_qca: Clear memdump state on invalid dump size qca_controller_memdump() allocates qca->qca_memdump before processing the first dump packet. For a sequence-zero packet it then disables IBS, marks memdump collection active, and reads the advertised dump size. If the controller reports a zero dump size, the error path frees the local qca_memdump object and returns without clearing qca->qca_memdump or undoing the collection state. A later memdump work item initializes its local pointer from qca->qca_memdump and skips allocation when that pointer is non-NULL, so it can operate on freed memory. The stale collection and IBS-disabled flags can also leave waiters or later transmit handling blocked behind an aborted dump. Clear the saved pointer and memdump state before returning from the invalid-size path, matching the cleanup used when hci_devcd_init() fails. A static analysis checker reported the stale memdump state, and manual source review confirmed the invalid-size failure path.
