CVE-2026-99008

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

Bluetooth: RFCOMM: Fix NULL tty_dev dereference in rfcomm_dev_shutdown

syzbot hit a NULL pointer dereference in rfcomm_dev_shutdown() when an
RFCOMM tty is closed.

rfcomm_dev_add() puts the new device on rfcomm_dev_list first and only
then registers the tty device and saves it in dev->tty_dev. If that
registration fails, dev->tty_dev is never set at all. The device can be
looked up in the meantime, so an open() of /dev/rfcommN gets through
rfcomm_tty_install() and attaches to it. When that tty is closed again,
rfcomm_dev_shutdown() uses dev->tty_dev without checking it:

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000040-0x0000000000000047]
  RIP: 0010:rfcomm_dev_shutdown+0x48/0xb0 net/bluetooth/rfcomm/tty.c:131

rfcomm_dev_destruct() already copes with a NULL dev->tty_dev. Add the
same check to rfcomm_dev_shutdown(), so the tty device is only moved
when it was actually registered.
