Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. A malicious or malfunctioning Bluetooth controller could send a specially crafted, truncated response to a command. This could lead to the kernel attempting to read beyond an allocated memory buffer, potentially causing a system crash (denial of service) or the disclosure of sensitive information.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-04 15:34:12 UTC

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

Bluetooth: hci_event: validate LE Set CIG Parameters response

The Command Complete dispatch validates only the fixed part of the LE Set
CIG Parameters response. After that part is pulled from the skb,
hci_cc_le_set_cig_params() trusts num_handles and reads each entry in the
trailing handle array.

Matching num_handles against the command's num_cis does not guarantee
that the response contains the advertised handles. A truncated response
from a malfunctioning controller can therefore make the handler read
beyond the skb data.

Validate that the remaining skb data contains all advertised handles.
Include this in the existing response validation so malformed responses
also follow the established CIG failure handling.
