Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-23395

Published: March 25, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU124444
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23395
CWE-ID: CWE-787
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the Bluetooth L2CAP component when handling L2CAP_ECRED_CONN_REQ packets. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted sequence of L2CAP connection requests with the same command identifier to cause an overflow in channel allocation, leading to a denial of service.

Exploitation requires proximity to initiate a Bluetooth connection. The issue arises from failure to check for duplicate command identifiers during Enhanced Credit Control connection setup.
