CVE-2025-40301
Linux Kernel 6.1.0-6.1.158, 6.2.0-6.6.116, 6.7.0-6.12.57, 6.13.0-6.17.7 - Use-After-Free in Bluetooth HCI Event Handler
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_event: validate skb length for unknown CC opcode In hci_cmd_complete_evt(), if the command complete event has an unknown opcode, we assume the first byte of the remaining skb->data contains the return status. However, parameter data has previously been pulled in hci_event_func(), which may leave the skb empty. If so, using skb->data[0] for the return status uses un-init memory. The fix is to check skb->len before using skb->data.
