Short explanation

A plen overflow vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel Bluetooth btintel_pcie subsystem within the btintel_pcie_recv_frame() function. This issue causes the length calculation to wrap, bypassing packet checks and leading to packet truncation via skb_trim().

Why does it matter?

Overflow vulnerabilities in Bluetooth subsystems require careful review because they can compromise packet integrity and lead to unexpected behavior during network or local data processing.

What should be done?

  • Update the affected kernel component or follow vendor advisories
  • Apply code fixes that widen the plen variable to u32
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

plen değeri u16 olarak hesaplandığı için 0xFFFC ve üzeri değerler toplamın sarmasına neden olur.

Bu taşma "skb->len < plen" kontrolünü atlatarak skb_trim() fonksiyonunun paketi kesmesine izin verir.

Show the technical text from the sources

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: fix plen overflow in btintel_pcie_recv_frame() plen is u16 and computed as HDR_SIZE + dlen. For ACL/ISO frames dlen is a 16-bit field, so a value >= 0xFFFC wraps the sum, bypassing the "skb->len < plen" check and letting skb_trim() truncate the packet. Widen plen to u32 so the addition cannot wrap.
