{"id":"CVE-2026-46138","summary":"Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix OOB read and infinite loop in hci_le_create_big_complete_evt","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: hci_event: Fix OOB read and infinite loop in hci_le_create_big_complete_evt\n\nhci_le_create_big_complete_evt() iterates over BT_BOUND connections for\na BIG handle using a while loop, accessing ev-\u003ebis_handle[i++] on each\niteration.  However, there is no check that i stays within ev-\u003enum_bis\nbefore the array access.\n\nWhen a controller sends a LE_Create_BIG_Complete event with fewer\nbis_handle entries than there are BT_BOUND connections for that BIG,\nor with num_bis=0, the loop reads beyond the valid bis_handle[] flex\narray into adjacent heap memory.  Since the out-of-bounds values\ntypically exceed HCI_CONN_HANDLE_MAX (0x0EFF), hci_conn_set_handle()\nrejects them and the connection remains in BT_BOUND state.  The same\nconnection is then found again by hci_conn_hash_lookup_big_state(),\ncreating an infinite loop with hci_dev_lock held.\n\nFix this by terminating the BIG if in case not all BIS could be setup\nproperly.","modified":"2026-07-08T08:13:41.719958357Z","published":"2026-05-28T09:35:54.467Z","related":["openSUSE-SU-2026:10954-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/46xxx/CVE-2026-46138.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/22559ad7654f61727fc270ee4893da9f4b70cf17"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ddb8014261137cadaf83ab5617a588d80a22586"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/665da0baaf0396f9ed3c86ccb3955dcd0b73e774"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6cb7f67bc28da787499291a562d49a084d9c90cd"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/77981a507aa0fc001dc37f0dd6631dd2042fed17"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/46xxx/CVE-2026-46138.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-46138"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"a0bfde167b506423111ddb8cd71930497a40fc54"},{"fixed":"6cb7f67bc28da787499291a562d49a084d9c90cd"},{"fixed":"22559ad7654f61727fc270ee4893da9f4b70cf17"},{"fixed":"77981a507aa0fc001dc37f0dd6631dd2042fed17"},{"fixed":"665da0baaf0396f9ed3c86ccb3955dcd0b73e774"},{"fixed":"5ddb8014261137cadaf83ab5617a588d80a22586"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"b475c1109251e30ec21fb574d72a1c71a4ab0039"},{"last_affected":"2ccde10127447c1a5caad8469fede945bdb62fdf"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"6.4.16"},{"fixed":"6.5"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"6.5.3"},{"fixed":"6.6"}]}],"versions":["v6.5","v6.5-rc1","v6.5.2","v6.4.15","v6.5-rc2","v6.4.14","v6.5.1","v6.5-rc7","v6.4.13","v6.4.12","v6.5-rc4","v6.5-rc3","v6.4.11","v6.5-rc6","v6.4.10","v6.5-rc5","v6.4.9","v6.4.8","v6.4.7","v6.4.6","v6.4.5","v6.4.4","v6.4.3","v6.4","v6.4.2","v6.4-rc7","v6.4-rc1","v6.4.1","v6.4-rc6","v6.4-rc5","v6.4-rc3","v6.4-rc4","v6.4-rc2","v6.3","v6.3-rc1","v6.3-rc7","v6.3-rc2","v6.3-rc3","v6.3-rc5","v6.3-rc6","v6.3-rc4","v6.2-rc6","v6.2-rc1","v6.2","v6.2-rc2","v6.2-rc8","v6.2-rc5","v6.2-rc4","v6.2-rc7","v6.2-rc3","v6.1-rc1","v6.1","v6.1-rc8","v6.1-rc3","v6.1-rc6","v6.1-rc7","v6.1-rc4","v6.1-rc2","v6.1-rc5","v6.0-rc1","v6.0","v6.0-rc7","v6.0-rc3","v6.0-rc2","v6.0-rc6","v6.0-rc4","v6.0-rc5","v5.19","v5.19-rc1","v5.19-rc5","v5.19-rc8","v5.19-rc6","v5.18","v5.19-rc2","v5.19-rc7","v5.19-rc3","v5.19-rc4","v5.18-rc1","v5.18-rc7","v5.18-rc2","v5.18-rc5","v5.17","v5.18-rc4","v5.18-rc3","v5.18-rc6","v5.17-rc6","v5.17-rc4","v5.17-rc8","v5.17-rc7","v5.17-rc1","v5.17-rc3","v5.17-rc2","v5.17-rc5","v5.16","v5.16-rc1","v5.16-rc8","v5.16-rc5","v5.16-rc6","v5.16-rc7","v5.16-rc3","v5.16-rc2","v5.16-rc4","v5.15","v5.15-rc2","v5.15-rc1","v5.15-rc4","v5.15-rc7","v5.15-rc3","v5.15-rc5","v5.15-rc6","v5.14","v5.14-rc3","v5.14-rc1","v5.14-rc2","v5.14-rc7","v5.14-rc6","v5.13-rc1","v5.14-rc5","v5.14-rc4","v5.13","v5.13-rc6","v5.13-rc7","v5.13-rc3","v5.13-rc2","v5.13-rc4","v5.13-rc5","v5.12","v5.12-rc2","v5.12-rc1-dontuse","v5.12-rc1","v5.12-rc8","v5.12-rc3","v5.12-rc7","v5.12-rc5","v5.12-rc6","v5.12-rc4","v5.10","v5.11","v5.11-rc3","v5.11-rc7","v5.11-rc6","v5.11-rc5","v5.11-rc1","v5.11-rc4","v5.11-rc2","v5.10-rc1","v5.10-rc7","v5.10-rc4","v5.10-rc3","v5.10-rc6","v5.9","v5.10-rc2","v5.10-rc5","v5.9-rc1","v5.9-rc7","v5.9-rc8","v5.9-rc6","v5.9-rc4","v5.9-rc5","v5.9-rc3","v5.9-rc2","v5.8","v5.7","v5.8-rc2","v5.8-rc1","v5.8-rc7","v5.8-rc5","v5.8-rc3","v5.8-rc4","v5.8-rc6","v5.7-rc4","v5.7-rc7","v5.7-rc1","v5.7-rc3","v5.7-rc2","v5.7-rc5","v5.7-rc6","v5.6","v5.6-rc1","v5.6-rc7","v5.6-rc6","v5.6-rc3","v5.6-rc4","v5.6-rc2","v5.6-rc5","v5.5","v5.5-rc5","v5.5-rc7","v5.5-rc2","v5.5-rc1","v5.4","v5.5-rc4","v5.5-rc3","v5.5-rc6","v5.4-rc1","v5.4-rc6","v5.4-rc3","v5.4-rc4","v5.4-rc8","v5.4-rc7","v5.4-rc5","v5.3","v5.4-rc2","v5.3-rc5","v5.3-rc1","v5.3-rc2","v5.3-rc3","v5.3-rc8","v5.3-rc7","v5.3-rc4","v5.2","v5.3-rc6","v5.2-rc2","v5.2-rc7","v5.2-rc4","v5.2-rc1","v5.2-rc5","v5.2-rc6","v5.2-rc3","v5.1","v5.0-rc8","v5.1-rc7","v5.1-rc1","v5.1-rc6","v5.1-rc5","v5.0","v5.1-rc3","v5.1-rc2","v5.1-rc4","v5.0-rc1","v5.0-rc4","v5.0-rc3","v5.0-rc6","v5.0-rc7","v5.0-rc2","v5.0-rc5","v4.20-rc1","v4.19","v4.20","v4.20-rc7","v4.20-rc5","v4.20-rc6","v4.20-rc4","v4.20-rc2","v4.20-rc3","v4.19-rc2","v4.19-rc8","v4.19-rc4","v4.19-rc1","v4.19-rc7","v4.19-rc6","v4.19-rc5","v4.19-rc3","v4.18","v4.18-rc1","v4.18-rc8","v4.18-rc2","v4.18-rc5","v4.18-rc6","v4.18-rc7","v4.17","v4.18-rc3","v4.18-rc4","v4.17-rc1","v4.17-rc2","v4.17-rc7","v4.17-rc3","v4.17-rc4","v4.16","v4.17-rc6","v4.1
