Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-64573

medium Nessus Plugin ID 332752

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - Bluetooth: qca: fix NVM tag length underflow in TLV parser In the TLV_TYPE_NVM branch of qca_tlv_check_data() the tag loop bound is while (idx < length - sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm)). length is a signed int from the firmware TLV header and sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm) is a size_t (12), so length is converted to size_t and any firmware-supplied length < 12 makes the subtraction wrap to a huge value.
 The loop body then reads a 12-byte struct tlv_type_nvm past the end of the short vmalloc'd firmware buffer (and the EDL_TAG_ID_* handlers can write past it). Rewrite the bound as idx + sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm) <= length; both operands are non-negative, so it no longer underflows and a length too small for one record correctly skips the loop. BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in qca_download_firmware.isra.0 (drivers/bluetooth/btqca.c:421) Read of size 2 at addr ffffc900000e5004 by task kworker/u9:0/52 Workqueue:

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
