Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23395)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the Bluetooth L2CAP component when handling L2CAP_ECRED_CONN_REQ packets. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted sequence of L2CAP connection requests with the same command identifier to cause an overflow in channel allocation, leading to a denial of service.

Exploitation requires proximity to initiate a Bluetooth connection. The issue arises from failure to check for duplicate command identifiers during Enhanced Credit Control connection setup.
