Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth USB (btusb) driver. An attacker with control over Bluetooth connections could trigger an out-of-bounds read in the btusb_work() function. This occurs because the function, which maps active Synchronous Connection-Oriented (SCO) links to USB alternate settings, uses an unconstrained index when accessing an internal lookup table. This vulnerability could lead to system instability or a denial of service.
