{"cve":"CVE-2026-74508","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-15T13:17:55.843","modified":"2026-10-16T20:17:33.383","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: HIDP: reject frames without a transaction header\n\nhidp_recv_ctrl_frame() and hidp_recv_intr_frame() read skb->data[0]\nbefore checking that the L2CAP SDU contains a transaction header. A\nconnected HIDP peer can send an empty basic-mode SDU and make both paths\nuse an uninitialized byte from skb tailroom.\n\nKMSAN reports the use in hidp_session_run(), with the uninitialized value\noriginating in __alloc_skb() through vhci_write(). The control path\nproduces two reports and the interrupt path produces one.\n\nThe byte can also be controlled by a malformed lower-layer packet. If an\nHCI ACL packet contains an L2CAP PDU with a declared zero-length payload\nfollowed by an extra 0x15 byte, l2cap_recv_acldata() reduces skb->len to\nthe declared PDU length before dispatch. The current HIDP path nevertheless\nconsumes the extra byte as HIDP_TRANS_HID_CONTROL |\nHIDP_CTRL_VIRTUAL_CABLE_UNPLUG and terminates the HIDP session. With this\nchange, the same packet is discarded and a subsequent feature report\nrequest succeeds.\n\nPull the transaction header with skb_pull_data() and discard frames that\ndo not contain it.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/238c333bc4b3f245c626632e8bfa3c9dab97f51b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24c64ccd5c1fc9934b427335b0d976c7f2b1a7d8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ebf63aa557a69990b4e9ea22be224d58aabce96","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46ca5ab39737d7c6f9ca77ecf714cdcfa6caaeec","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47778d2c2087b5d192398f6fddf692d16a5431cf"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74508","score":0.00262,"percentile":0.17866,"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).
