Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol) component. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted, truncated L2CAP information response (L2CAP_INFO_RSP) packet. This insufficient validation of the payload length before accessing data leads to an out-of-bounds read of adjacent kernel memory. This could result in information disclosure or potentially a denial of service (DoS).
Statement
l2cap_information_rsp() read feature mask or fixed-channel bytes without ensuring cmd_len covered them. A truncated INFO_RSP with success result causes a small OOB read from the skb. The peer must reach L2CAP info exchange (typically adjacent Bluetooth).
