Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: bpa10x: check response length in bpa10x_setup()
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 23:28:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630062759.2769059-3-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)

bpa10x_setup() sends the vendor command 0xfc0e and passes the response
to bt_dev_info() and hci_set_fw_info() as a "%s" string starting at
skb->data + 1, without checking the length:

	bt_dev_info(hdev, "%s", (char *)(skb->data + 1));
	hci_set_fw_info(hdev, "%s", skb->data + 1);

A device that returns a one-byte response (status only) leaves
skb->data + 1 past the end of the data, and the %s walk reads adjacent
slab memory until it meets a NUL. The same happens when the payload is
not NUL-terminated within skb->len. The out-of-bounds bytes end up in
the kernel log and the firmware-info debugfs file.

Bail out if the response is too short or not NUL-terminated.
