CVE-2026-46138

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix OOB read and infinite loop in hci_le_create_big_complete_evt

hci_le_create_big_complete_evt() iterates over BT_BOUND connections for

a BIG handle using a while loop, accessing ev->bis_handle[i++] on each

iteration. However, there is no check that i stays within ev->num_bis

before the array access.

When a controller sends a LE_Create_BIG_Complete event with fewer

bis_handle entries than there are BT_BOUND connections for that BIG,

or with num_bis=0, the loop reads beyond the valid bis_handle[] flex

array into adjacent heap memory. Since the out-of-bounds values

typically exceed HCI_CONN_HANDLE_MAX (0x0EFF), hci_conn_set_handle()

rejects them and the connection remains in BT_BOUND state. The same

connection is then found again by hci_conn_hash_lookup_big_state(),

creating an infinite loop with hci_dev_lock held.

Fix this by terminating the BIG if in case not all BIS could be setup

properly.
