Stack-based buffer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64539

Published: July 28, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU139831
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64539
CWE-ID: CWE-121
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a stack-based buffer overflow in eir_create_adv_data() in the Bluetooth EIR advertising data builder when constructing legacy advertising data for an LE-only controller. A local user can supply crafted advertising instance data to trigger a stack out-of-bounds write and cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN and access to the legacy advertising path on an LE-only controller.
