Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose adjacent memory contents.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in l2cap_information_rsp() when processing a truncated L2CAP_INFO_RSP packet with a successful result. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Bluetooth L2CAP response to disclose adjacent memory contents.
The issue occurs because the code reads response payload data beyond the validated fixed header length for L2CAP_IT_FEAT_MASK and L2CAP_IT_FIXED_CHAN cases.
Remediation
Install security update from vendor's repository.
