DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix not checking skb length on hci_acldata_packet

This fixes not checking if skb really contains an ACL header otherwise the code may attempt to access some uninitilized/invalid memory past the valid skb->data.

AnalysisAI
