CVE-2026-43017CVE-2026-43017
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: MGMT: validate mesh send advertising payload length
mesh_send() currently bounds MGMT_OP_MESH_SEND by total command
length, but it never verifies that the bytes supplied for the
flexible adv_data[] array actually match the embedded adv_data_len
field. MGMT_MESH_SEND_SIZE only covers the fixed header, so a
truncated command can still pass the existing 20..50 byte range
check and later drive the async mesh send path past the end of the
queued command buffer.
Keep rejecting zero-length and oversized advertising payloads, but
validate adv_data_len explicitly and require the command length to
exactly match the flexible array size before queueing the request.
