Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46186)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in virtbt_rx_handle() and Bluetooth HCI packet classification when processing a backend-supplied RX packet with an insufficient header length. A local user can provide a specially crafted RX completion with a truncated packet to disclose sensitive information.

The issue can be triggered when the virtio Bluetooth device has an active CIS_LINK, BIS_LINK, or PA_LINK connection.
