Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64126

Vulnerability identifier: #VU138508

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64126

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in the Bluetooth MGMT add_ext_adv_data() handler when processing a crafted MGMT_OP_ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA command with inconsistent length fields. A local privileged user can send a specially crafted management command to disclose sensitive information.

Exploitation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace, and exposed memory may be read back via MGMT_OP_GET_ADV_INSTANCE.
