Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: MGMT: validate Add Extended Advertising Data length
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 10:38:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515143819.1157807-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)

MGMT_OP_ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA is registered as a variable-length command,
with MGMT_ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA_SIZE as the fixed header size.  The handler
then uses cp->adv_data_len and cp->scan_rsp_len to validate and copy
cp->data, but it never checks that those bytes are part of the mgmt
command payload.

A short command can therefore make add_ext_adv_data() pass an
out-of-bounds pointer into tlv_data_is_valid().  If the bytes beyond
the command buffer are addressable, they can also be copied into the
advertising instance as scan response data, where the caller can read
them back via MGMT_OP_GET_ADV_INSTANCE.  The trigger requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace; KASAN reports an 8-byte
slab-out-of-bounds read.

Reject commands whose length does not match the fixed header plus both
advertising data lengths before parsing cp->data.
