UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40301: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Published Dec 8, 2025
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hcievent: validate skb length for unknown CC opcode In hcicmdcompleteevt(), if the command complete event has an unknown opcode, we assume the first byte of the remaining skb->data contains the return status. However, parameter data has previously been pulled in hcieventfunc(), which may leave the skb empty. If so, using skb->data[0] for the return status uses un-init memory. The fix is to check skb->len before using skb->data.
