Summary

In the Linux kernel, the Bluetooth bpa10x driver's bpa10x_setup() reads the revision string from device response without length checking, leading to out-of-bounds buffer read. Unterminated or short responses leak adjacent kernel memory to logs and debugfs.

Risk Assessment

The organization may experience sensitive kernel memory leaks through system logs or the firmware-info debugfs file, potentially disclosing confidential information.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that bounds the revision string read to the response length using the %.*s specifier.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
