CVE-2026-46140
Published: May 28, 2026· Updated: May 28, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: validate WMT event SKB length before struct access
btmtk_usb_hci_wmt_sync() casts the WMT event response SKB data to
struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt (7 bytes) and struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt_funcc
(9 bytes) without first checking that the SKB contains enough data.
A short firmware response causes out-of-bounds reads from SKB tailroom.
Use skb_pull_data() to validate and advance past the base WMT event
header. For the FUNC_CTRL case, pull the additional status field bytes
before accessing them.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-46140 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
