CVE-2026-64549 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: bpa10x: avoid OOB read of revision string in bpa10x_setup() bpa10x_setup() sends the vendor command 0xfc0e and passes the response to bt_dev_info() and hci_set_fw_info() as a "%s" string starting at skb->data + 1, without checking the length: bt_dev_info(hdev, "%s", (char *)(skb->data + 1)); hci_set_fw_info(hdev, "%s", skb->data + 1); A device that returns a one-byte response (status only) leaves skb->data + 1 past the end of the data, and the %s walk reads adjacent slab memory until it meets a NUL. The same happens when the payload is not NUL-terminated within skb->len. The out-of-bounds bytes end up in the kernel log and the firmware-info debugfs file. Print the revision string with a bounded "%.*s" limited to skb->len - 1 instead. This keeps the string readable for well-behaved devices while never reading past the received data, and does not fail setup, so a device returning a short or unterminated response keeps working.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth BPA10X driver allows for an out-of-bounds read of the revision string. This issue arises in the 'bpa10x_setup' function, which sends a vendor command and processes the response without proper length validation. Devices returning a one-byte response can cause the function to read past the intended data, accessing adjacent memory and potentially leaking information. The out-of-bounds data can end up in the kernel log and a debugfs file, creating a risk of memory disclosure.
Users can upgrade to the patched version of the Linux kernel available in the official Linux Git repository. Instructions for downloading the latest version can be found on the Linux kernel website.
