Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53254

Vulnerability identifier: #VU135494

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53254

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Adjecent network

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in the Bluetooth RFCOMM MCC handlers when processing truncated MCC frames from a remote Bluetooth device. A remote attacker can send specially crafted truncated MCC frames to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects the RFCOMM MCC handling paths including rfcomm_recv_mcc(), rfcomm_recv_pn(), rfcomm_recv_rpn(), rfcomm_recv_rls(), and rfcomm_recv_msc().
