Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68339)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in btusb_recv_event_realtek() when processing short Realtek vendor events. A local attacker can send a specially crafted Bluetooth HCI vendor event to cause a denial of service.
Short vendor events may be misclassified as coredump events because the code inspects a missing third byte.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
