Summary
Bluetooth: 6lowpan: check skb_clone() return value in send_mcast_pkt()
Details

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

Bluetooth: 6lowpan: check skbclone() return value in sendmcast_pkt()

The skbclone() function can return NULL if memory allocation fails. sendmcastpkt() calls skbclone() without checking the return value, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in sendpkt() when it dereferences skb->data. Add a NULL check after skbclone() and skip the peer if the clone fails.
