Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an information leak caused by incorrect size and source-pointer arguments in l2cap_ecred_reconfigure() in the Bluetooth L2CAP subsystem when sending an L2CAP_ECRED_RECONFIGURE_REQ packet to a paired Bluetooth peer. A remote attacker can trigger ecred reconfiguration handling to disclose sensitive information.

The malformed packet copies bytes from kernel stack memory and can expose a kernel stack address to the peer. Exploitation requires Bluetooth connectivity with a paired peer.
