15th percentile - higher than 15% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel's Bluetooth stack (hci_event), the skb length was not checked before reading data for an unknown opcode in command complete events, potentially using uninitialized memory. The fix adds a length check.

Risk Assessment

Use of uninitialized memory can lead to unpredictable behavior or information leakage.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing this commit.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_event: validate skb length for unknown CC opcode In hci_cmd_complete_evt(), if the command complete event has an unknown opcode, we assume the first byte of the remaining skb->data contains the return status. However, parameter data has previously been pulled in hci_event_func(), which may leave the skb empty. If so, using skb->data[0] for the return status uses un-init memory. The fix is to check skb->len before using skb->data.
