Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix stack-out-of-bounds read in l2cap_ecred_conn_req<br />
<br />
Syzbot reported a KASAN stack-out-of-bounds read in l2cap_build_cmd()<br />
that is triggered by a malformed Enhanced Credit Based Connection Request.<br />
<br />
The vulnerability stems from l2cap_ecred_conn_req(). The function allocates<br />
a local stack buffer (`pdu`) designed to hold a maximum of 5 Source Channel<br />
IDs (SCIDs), totaling 18 bytes. When an attacker sends a request with more<br />
than 5 SCIDs, the function calculates `rsp_len` based on this unvalidated<br />
`cmd_len` before checking if the number of SCIDs exceeds<br />
L2CAP_ECRED_MAX_CID.<br />
<br />
If the SCID count is too high, the function correctly jumps to the<br />
`response` label to reject the packet, but `rsp_len` retains the<br />
attacker&#39;s oversized value. Consequently, l2cap_send_cmd() is instructed<br />
to read past the end of the 18-byte `pdu` buffer, triggering a<br />
KASAN panic.<br />
<br />
Fix this by moving the assignment of `rsp_len` to after the `num_scid`<br />
boundary check. If the packet is rejected, `rsp_len` will safely<br />
remain 0, and the error response will only read the 8-byte base header<br />
from the stack.
