Detailed vulnerability description
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.
