The loop body\nthen reads a 12-byte struct tlv_type_nvm past the end of the short\nvmalloc'd firmware buffer (and the EDL_TAG_ID_* handlers can write past it).\n\nRewrite the bound as \"idx + sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm) <= length\"; both\noperands are non-negative, so it no longer underflows and a \"length\" too\nsmall for one record correctly skips the loop.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in qca_download_firmware.isra.0 (drivers/bluetooth/btqca.c:421)\n  Read of size 2 at addr ffffc900000e5004 by task kworker/u9:0/52\n  Workqueue: hci0 hci_power_on\n  Call Trace:\n   ...\n   kasan_report (mm/kasan/report.c:595)\n   qca_download_firmware.isra.0 (drivers/bluetooth/btqca.c:421 drivers/bluetooth/btqca.c:617)\n   qca_uart_setup (drivers/bluetooth/btqca.c:948)\n   qca_setup (drivers/bluetooth/hci_qca.c:2029)\n   hci_uart_setup (drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c:438)\n   hci_dev_open_sync (net/bluetooth/hci_sync.c:5227)\n   hci_power_on (net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:920)\n   process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3322)\n   worker_thread (kernel/workqueue.c:3486)\n   kthread (kernel/kthread.c:436)\n   ret_from_fork (arch/x86/kernel/process.c:158)\n   ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:245)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fcfb5b2c736785464ff9745f94c6726c5ee2d85","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59fd2f075bca94f030c7c78e94878ea0803d7690","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d34e537755d2f9eba2d4e54d70126f987ef20b4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/70354dbb5f72d9a76da7b031de3cbaf6c7d8fc24","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a087ed960fce54e9302796229e9d545bbc9bcd4a"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:47:10.050265369+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64573","score":0.00161,"percentile":0.05249,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
