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

Bluetooth: ISO: Copy BASE if service data matches EIR_BAA_SERVICE_UUID

Copy the content of a Periodic Advertisement Report to BASE only if
the service UUID is Basic Audio Announcement Service UUID.
Published: 2026-10-21
Score: 8.8 High
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Memory Corruption / Denial of Service
Action: Apply Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw arises in the Linux kernel Bluetooth ISO stack where the driver copies data from a Periodic Advertisement Report into a BASE buffer only when the service UUID equals the Basic Audio Announcement Service UUID. The copy operation is performed without explicit enforcement of buffer boundaries, which could lead to memory corruption or a denial‑of‑service condition in the kernel should the data exceed the buffer size. This behavior is identified as CWE‑120, representing an unvalidated buffer copy.

Affected Systems

The bug is present in the generic Bluetooth ISO driver of the Linux kernel. All Linux kernel releases that include this driver are potentially affected, as the CPE classifies linux_kernel and no specific version range is indicated. Systems that ship a Linux kernel and enable the Bluetooth ISO subsystem are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability scores a CVSS 8.8, indicating high severity. Its EPSS score is listed as < 1%, suggesting a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers could send a crafted Bluetooth advertisement packet containing the Basic Audio Announcement Service UUID to a target Linux host processing ISO traffic, achieving remote exploitation without requiring local privileges.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest patched Linux kernel release that includes the fix for CVE‑2023‑7356
  • If no patch is immediately available, disable the Bluetooth ISO subsystem by unloading the relevant kernel module or stopping the bluetooth service to prevent processing of ISO traffic
  • Apply network filtering or firewall rules to reject or limit untrusted Bluetooth connections, or disable advertisement scanning to reduce exposure
