Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68479)

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

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 user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer underflow leading to out-of-bounds read and out-of-bounds write in rtlbt_parse_firmware() when parsing a malformed Bluetooth firmware patch during Bluetooth setup. A local user can supply a specially crafted firmware patch to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be triggered by a firmware patch shorter than the version field, and arithmetic wraparound may affect 32-bit architectures.
