Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-08 07:06:55 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: hci_event: validate skb length for unknown CC opcode

In hci_cmd_complete_evt(), if the command complete event has an unknown
opcode, we assume the first byte of the remaining skb->data contains the
return status. However, parameter data has previously been pulled in
hci_event_func(), which may leave the skb empty. If so, using skb->data[0]
for the return status uses un-init memory.

The fix is to check skb->len before using skb->data.
