Split the control handler so the frame\npath can pass an opcode that has already been pulled, and keep the\nbyte-buffer wrapper for extension control payloads.\n\nFor BNEP_SETUP_CONN_REQ, name the UUID-size byte before pulling the\nsetup payload. struct bnep_setup_conn_req carries destination and source\nservice UUIDs after that byte, each uuid_size bytes, so the parser now\ndocuments that tuple explicitly instead of leaving the pull length as an\nopaque multiplication.\n\nValidation reproduced this kernel report:\nKASAN slab-out-of-bounds in bnep_rx_frame.isra.0+0x130c/0x1790\nThe buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88800c0f7908 which belongs\nto the cache kmalloc-8 of size 8\nThe buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of allocated 1-byte\nregion [ffff88800c0f7908, ffff88800c0f7909)\nRead of size 1\nCall trace:\n  dump_stack_lvl+0xb3/0x140 (?:?)\n  print_address_description+0x57/0x3a0 (?:?)\n  bnep_rx_frame+0x130c/0x1790 (net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c:306)\n  print_report+0xb9/0x2b0 (?:?)\n  __virt_addr_valid+0x1ba/0x3a0 (?:?)\n  srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 (?:?)\n  kasan_addr_to_slab+0x21/0x60 (?:?)\n  kasan_report+0xe0/0x110 (?:?)\n  process_one_work+0xfce/0x17e0 (kernel/workqueue.c:3200)\n  worker_thread+0x65c/0xe40 (?:?)\n  __kthread_parkme+0x184/0x230 (?:?)\n  kthread+0x35e/0x470 (?:?)\n  _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x28/0x50 (?:?)\n  ret_from_fork+0x586/0x870 (?:?)\n  __switch_to+0x74f/0xdc0 (?:?)\n  ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 (?:?)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0ef2ea86c82b2615902d085cd5a586fe9f58994f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b83afb19293e4de700edae306115f18966dc4f9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6770d3a8acdf9151769180cc3710346c4cfbe6f0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/691f14b6a48b637655755134f1e551c7c6fedc2e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be837cd09897e9e6e1958174501d467bdcbcc2bc"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53253","score":0.00266,"percentile":0.18326,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
