Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93783)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to read uninitialized memory.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in rfcomm_recv_frame() when processing truncated Bluetooth RFCOMM frames. A remote attacker can send a truncated Bluetooth RFCOMM frame to read uninitialized memory.
A zero-length frame can cause a length underflow and make skb_tail_pointer() read past the buffer.
