Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: MGMT: reject malformed HCI_CMD_SYNC commands In 'mgmt_hci_cmd_sync()', check whether the size of parameters passed in 'struct mgmt_cp_hci_cmd_sync' matches the total size of the data (i.e. 'sizeof(struct mgmt_cp_hci_cmd_sync)' plus trailing bytes). Otherwise, large invalid 'params_len' will cause 'hci_cmd_sync_alloc()' to do 'skb_put_data()' from an area beyond the one actually passed to 'mgmt_hci_cmd_sync()'.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth management involves improper validation of the size of parameters passed to the function mgmt_hci_cmd_sync(). If the size does not match the expected structure size plus any trailing bytes, a large invalid parameter length can cause the function hci_cmd_sync_alloc() to read data beyond the intended memory area, potentially leading to memory corruption or other unintended behavior.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The impact of this vulnerability could include memory corruption or unexpected behavior in the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel, which might be exploited to cause system instability, crashes, or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.
