CVE-2026-10658 Details
Description
bt_iso_recv() in subsys/bluetooth/host/iso.c pulled the ISO SDU header (4 bytes) or, when the timestamp flag is set, the timestamped SDU header (8 bytes) from the inbound HCI ISO Data buffer via net_buf_pull_mem() without first checking buf->len. The upstream hci_iso() handler enforces buf->len == the controller-declared ISO Data_Load length, so a malicious or buggy controller / adjacent BLE peer on an established CIS/BIS can present a first-fragment (BT_ISO_START) or single (BT_ISO_SINGLE) PDU shorter than the SDU header. Because net_buf_simple_pull_mem only guards length with __ASSERT_NO_MSG (compiled out when CONFIG_ASSERT is disabled, the production default), the pull underflows buf->len (uint16_t, e.g. 0 - 8 = 0xFFF8) and advances buf->data past valid data: the subsequent reads of hdr->slen and hdr->sn are out-of-bounds reads of adjacent pool memory. For the multi-fragment (START) case the corrupted buffer is retained as iso->rx, and a following CONT/END fragment's net_buf_tailroom() guard underflows to a near-SIZE_MAX value, defeating the bounds check and causing net_buf_add_mem() to memcpy attacker-supplied fragment data far past the RX pool buffer (out-of-bounds write). The flaw affects ISO receive builds (CONFIG_BT_ISO_RX, selected by the default-off LE Audio options BT_ISO_PERIPHERAL/BT_ISO_CENTRAL/BT_ISO_SYNC_RECEIVER) and has existed since the ISO subsystem was introduced (v2.6.0) through v4.4.0. The fix adds explicit buf->len < sizeof(ts_hdr) and buf->len < sizeof(hdr) checks that drop the buffer before pulling.
A vulnerability exists in the Zephyr Bluetooth Host ISO receive path due to a missing length validation when processing certain HCI ISO data. This issue can be triggered by malformed ISO traffic, leading to a kernel assert that causes a denial-of-service condition in builds with assertions enabled. In non-assert builds, the vulnerability may result in out-of-bounds read behavior. The problem arises in the 'bt_iso_recv()' function within 'subsys/bluetooth/host/iso.c', when handling PB=START/SINGLE fragments. The code pulls TS SDU headers or non-TS SDU headers without first verifying that the buffer contains the required minimum length. While the outer HCI ISO length check validates payload consistency, it does not ensure the minimum inner SDU header size, allowing packets with insufficient length to bypass initial checks and cause failures when the headers are processed.
Users can upgrade to Zephyr versions 4.3.0, 4.4.0, or the main branch to address this vulnerability.
