Subject: [BlueZ, v4] avrcp: Fix Out-of-Bounds Read in AVRCP GetFolderItems parsing
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 16:01:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814140155.3155081-1-hadess@hadess.net> (raw)
If the "Displayable Name Length" is much longer than the size of the PDU
packet we receive, then we might try to memcpy() past the end of the PDU
packet.
Be careful about clamping the name copying to the smallest of:
- length specified in the PDU
- left-over packet after the length field
- size of the string we'll copy it into
