1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53209)

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a stack-based buffer overflow in hci_adv_bcast_annoucement() when rebuilding Bluetooth advertising data with a prepended Broadcast Announcement. A local user can trigger handling of an oversized advertising payload to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when an existing advertising instance already contains the maximum extended advertising payload.
