l2cap security

About this tag
The l2cap security tag covers discussions about vulnerabilities and hardening in the Bluetooth L2CAP protocol layer, particularly within the Linux kernel. Recent content highlights CVE-2026-31512, an out-of-bounds read bug in the L2CAP ECRED data reception path caused by missing SDU length validation. The fix involves adding proper packet boundary checks before dereferencing length fields, similar to existing validation in the ERTM reassembly path. This tag is relevant for IT professionals and developers focused on kernel security, Bluetooth stack integrity, and proactive patching against memory safety issues in low-level networking code.

    CVE-2026-31512 Linux Bluetooth L2CAP OOB Read: Fix Adds SDU Length Validation

    CVE-2026-31512 is a reminder that many kernel security bugs are not dramatic memory-smasher headlines, but small validation mistakes sitting in the middle of critical networking code. In this case, the Linux Bluetooth L2CAP path in l2cap_ecred_data_rcv() reads the SDU length field before...
