CVE-2026-64126

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: MGMT: validate Add Extended Advertising Data length

MGMT_OP_ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA is registered as a variable-length command,

with MGMT_ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA_SIZE as the fixed header size. The handler

then uses cp->adv_data_len and cp->scan_rsp_len to validate and copy

cp->data, but it never checks that those bytes are part of the mgmt

command payload.

A short command can therefore make add_ext_adv_data() pass an

out-of-bounds pointer into tlv_data_is_valid(). If the bytes beyond

the command buffer are addressable, they can also be copied into the

advertising instance as scan response data, where the caller can read

them back via MGMT_OP_GET_ADV_INSTANCE. The trigger requires

CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace; KASAN reports an 8-byte

slab-out-of-bounds read.

Reject commands whose length does not match the fixed header plus both

advertising data lengths before parsing cp->data.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
