Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46138)

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

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in hci_le_create_big_complete_evt when processing a crafted LE_Create_BIG_Complete event. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Bluetooth controller event to cause a denial of service.

The issue can also result in an infinite loop while hci_dev_lock is held when the event contains fewer bis_handle entries than expected or num_bis is zero.
