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