Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 17:06:44 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: ISO: drop ISO_END frames received without prior ISO_START

ISO data PDUs carry a packet-boundary flag indicating START, CONT, END
or SINGLE. The ISO_CONT branch of iso_recv() guards against a missing
ISO_START by checking conn->rx_len before touching conn->rx_skb, but
ISO_END does not.

If a peer sends an ISO_END as the first packet on a fresh ISO
connection, conn->rx_skb is still NULL and conn->rx_len is zero, so
skb_put(conn->rx_skb, ...) dereferences NULL and oopses. For BIS,
where receivers sync to a broadcaster without pairing, any broadcaster
on the air can trigger this.

Mirror the ISO_CONT check at the top of ISO_END so a stray end fragment
is logged and dropped instead of crashing the host.
