Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53208)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in l2cap_sig_channel() when processing oversized Bluetooth BR/EDR signaling packets. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted fixed-channel CID 0x0001 packet containing many L2CAP_ECHO_REQ commands to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation is possible by a Bluetooth BR/EDR peer within radio range before pairing.
