Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: fix TX descriptor bounds check btintel_pcie_prepare_tx() uses tfd_index to access the TFD and data buffer arrays before the index is advanced modulo txq->count. An index equal to txq->count is one past the end of both arrays, so reject it in the bounds check.

Bluetooth radio range makes this AV:A.\nAC:H - The peer cannot create tfd_index==32: btintel_pcie_alloc() zeroes tr_hia, the ordered HCI workqueue serializes sends, btintel_pcie_send_sync() advances it modulo txq-\u003ecount, and resets only zero it. Reaching 32 therefore needs corruption or a fault outside attacker control.\nPR:N - l2cap_bredr_sig_cmd() handles L2CAP_ECHO_REQ by directly queuing L2CAP_ECHO_RSP; that branch has no pairing, authentication, or capability gate, so the adjacent peer needs no target privileges.\nUI:N - No user action occurs in this path; after the bad head-index state exists, receipt of L2CAP_ECHO_REQ automatically builds and transmits the response into btintel_pcie_send_sync().\nS:U - btintel_pcie_prepare_tx() corrupts the host kernel\u0027s TX descriptors or memory reached through the post-array data pointer; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security authority.\nC:H - At index 32, btintel_pcie_prepare_tx() reads bufs[32].data beyond the heap array and writes peer-controlled Echo Response bytes through that pointer; this kernel memory corruption can enable control-flow hijack and disclosure.\nI:H - btintel_pcie_prepare_tx() zeroes and fills tfds[32] past the 32-entry descriptor array, then memcpy() writes through the out-of-bounds bufs[32].data pointer, providing exploitable kernel-memory modification.\nA:H - The invalid bufs[32].data pointer can fault the kernel in memcpy(), while the tfds[32] write corrupts the adjacent URBD0 completion-descriptor area and can stop the Bluetooth transport."
