Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:07:53 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: btrtl: validate firmware patch bounds

rtlbt_parse_firmware() copies patch_length - 4 bytes before appending the
firmware version. A malformed firmware patch shorter than the version field
can make this subtraction underflow and turn the copy into an oversized
read and write during Bluetooth setup.

The existing patch_offset + patch_length check can also wrap on 32-bit
architectures. Validate the patch length and range without arithmetic
overflow before allocating or copying the patch.
