DescriptionCVE.org

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

Bluetooth: eir: Fix OOB read in eir_get_service_data()

eir_get_service_data() walks the advertising data for a Service Data field with a matching UUID. On a mismatch it advances:

eir += dlen; eir_len -= dlen;

eir_get_data() reports dlen as the field's data length, but the field spans dlen + 2 bytes once its length and type bytes count, and more when non-Service-Data fields were skipped to reach it. The pointer lands correctly on the next field. eir_len does not, and the shortfall compounds across fields until eir_get_data() reads the length and type bytes of a "field" past the end of the buffer.

For an ISO broadcast sink that buffer is hcon->le_per_adv_data[], filled from the periodic advertising reports of a remote broadcaster. A PA payload packed with mismatching Service Data fields walks off the array into the rest of struct hci_conn. A drifted field that matches the BAA UUID puts those bytes in iso_pi(sk)->base, where user space reads them back with getsockopt(BT_ISO_BASE).

Recompute eir_len from the end of the buffer each iteration.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem's eir_get_service_data() leaks kernel heap memory into userspace for ISO broadcast sink configurations. When an ISO broadcast sink processes periodic advertising (PA) reports from a remote Bluetooth broadcaster, a PA payload packed with multiple mismatching Service Data fields causes eir_len to undercount by 2 bytes per field iteration - the subtraction uses only the data length (dlen), omitting the 2-byte length+type header - so the pointer eventually reads past hcon->le_per_adv_data[] into the surrounding struct hci_conn; a drifted field matching the BAA UUID causes those bytes to be copied into iso_pi(sk)->base, recoverable by a local or remote-assisted userspace process via getsockopt(BT_ISO_BASE). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) The target Linux system must have Bluetooth LE support enabled and an ISO broadcast sink socket open (AF_BLUETOOTH, BTPROTO_ISO in broadcast receive mode), which is a specialized LE Audio / Auracast use case not present in default server or desktop configurations; (2) the attacker must be within Bluetooth LE radio range (typically 10-100m) and able to transmit LE periodic advertising (PA) packets - no prior pairing or authentication is required for advertising reception; (3) a local process (or the attacker after initial code execution) must call getsockopt(BT_ISO_BASE) to retrieve the leaked bytes for the information-disclosure impact. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 8.1 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H) accurately captures the adjacent attack vector but the dual C:H/A:H impact warrants scrutiny. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-released kernel patches for the appropriate stable branch: upgrade to Linux 6.12.109, 6.18.50, 7.2.4, or build from 7.3-rc1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
