Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the Bluetooth subsystem (btintel driver), a missing length validation before accessing tlv->val[0] in btintel_diagnostics() was found. This can lead to reading data beyond the received frame, resulting in information disclosure or a crash.

Risk Assessment

Out-of-bounds read can lead to leakage of sensitive kernel memory or system crash, which could be exploited by an attacker for privilege escalation or DoS.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that adds length validation before accessing TLV fields. Update the system to a kernel version with the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btintel: Validate length before parsing diagnostics TLV btintel_diagnostics() accesses tlv->val[0] without first validating that the diagnostics VSE is long enough to contain that field, so may cause reading data beyond the received frame. Fix by validating the length before access.
