8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix malformed ISO_END/CONT handling Core specification (Part C vol 4 sec 5.4.5) does not exclude empty ISO_CONT, ISO_END packets. We currently reject them if they are last. If controller sends malformed sequence ISO_START -> rx_len = 4, ISO_CONT skb->len 4, ISO_START that ends payload in ISO_CONT, we leak conn->rx_skb. If controller sends too long ISO_END, we panic on skb_put. If controller sends too short ISO_END we accept it. Fix by marking unfinished ISO_START via conn->rx_skb != NULL. Check skb->len properly before skb_put. Combine the ISO_CONT/END code paths as they require the same initial checks. Reject too short ISO_END packets.

a nearby radio peer can deliver malformed ISO fragment sequences without any IP/network path.\\nAC:L - An adjacent attacker can reliably craft the malformed ISO_START/ISO_CONT/ISO_END sequences described in the fix (or inject equivalent HCI ISO packets) to trigger skb_put overflow, skb leaks, or acceptance of undersized END fragments.\\nPR:N - No Linux credentials are required; an unauthenticated adjacent Bluetooth broadcaster on BIS or CIS peer can drive the vulnerable reassembly path once the victim host has an active ISO connection.\\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require a distinct victim action at trigger time; hosts with Bluetooth enabled routinely maintain CIS sessions or background BIS/LE Audio sync that already deliver ISO traffic to iso_recv().\\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel heap corruption and denial of service within the Bluetooth ISO receive path and does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU security boundaries.\\nC:H - An oversized ISO_END causes skb_put() to write past the allocated rx_skb buffer (heap overflow), enabling disclosure of adjacent kernel memory per memory-corruption scoring guidance.\\nI:H - The skb_put heap overflow writes attacker-controlled ISO payload bytes beyond the skb tail, corrupting adjacent kernel objects and enabling potential arbitrary write or code execution primitives.\\nA:H - Oversized ISO_END triggers skb_over_panic (BUG/kernel oops), and repeated malformed sequences leak conn-\u003erx_skb causing memory exhaustion, both producing complete host denial of service.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"ccf74f2390d60a2f9a75ef496d2564abb478f46a\", \"lessThan\": \"d2df29dc9abda2fc10ff522eac0969f5b77b3637\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"ccf74f2390d60a2f9a75ef496d2564abb478f46a\", \"lessThan\": \"7250b6b5ba9b737cff2c2c1d0760360c7b6bca00\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"ccf74f2390d60a2f9a75ef496d2564abb478f46a\", \"lessThan\": \"49aeb54e3c912ef785311264a51ab9f3698e421b\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"ccf74f2390d60a2f9a75ef496d2564abb478f46a\", \"lessThan\": \"5e53e285f8c989662e34d4938c728a94226bff34\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"ccf74f2390d60a2f9a75ef496d2564abb478f46a\", \"lessThan\": \"990e65eb9387c4ddfa7f68782b6644c2c35d489f\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"ccf74f2390d60a2f9a75ef496d2564abb478f46a\", \"lessThan\": \"e054c1a6ae7310d2815778fddb87da616e11c255\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"net/bluetooth/iso.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.0\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.0\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.189\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.158\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.111\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.53\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.1.5\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.2\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"net/bluetooth/iso.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d2df29dc9abda2fc10ff522eac0969f5b77b3637\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7250b6b5ba9b737cff2c2c1d0760360c7b6bca00\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49aeb54e3c912ef785311264a51ab9f3698e421b\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5e53e285f8c989662e34d4938c728a94226bff34\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/990e65eb9387c4ddfa7f68782b6644c2c35d489f\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e054c1a6ae7310d2815778fddb87da616e11c255\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nBluetooth: ISO: fix malformed ISO_END/CONT handling\\n\\nCore specification (Part C vol 4 sec 5.4.5) does not exclude empty\\nISO_CONT, ISO_END packets.
