HCI event and ACL buffers are sized by CONFIG_BT_BUF_EVT_RX_SIZE and CONFIG_BT_BUF_ACL_RX_SIZE and can be far larger, so the copy runs past the end of the 64-byte slot into the adjacent slots and into whatever follows the statically allocated pool.\n\nThe device runs the local Bluetooth controller in raw HCI mode (CONFIG_BT_HCI_RAW), so the oversized packets originate over the air. With the HCI buffer sizes recommended for full-featured controllers, an unauthenticated attacker within Bluetooth range can supply the overflowing bytes: a connected peer that negotiates Data Length Extension can send ACL fragments up to CONFIG_BT_CTLR_DATA_LENGTH_MAX bytes, and an attacker that merely broadcasts extended advertising data reaches the same path through LE Extended Advertising Report events, which the controller fragments only to CONFIG_BT_BUF_EVT_RX_SIZE. In the stock configuration the overflow is already reached without any radio traffic: the mandatory Read Supported Commands command-complete event is 70 bytes and overruns the 64-byte slot by six bytes on every host initialization.\n\nBecause net_buf_add_mem() validates tailroom only through an assertion unless CONFIG_NET_BUF_HARDENING is enabled, builds with CONFIG_ASSERT=n — the usual production setting — silently corrupt memory adjacent to the USB buffer pool with attacker-chosen contents, which on a target without memory protection between subsystems can lead to arbitrary code execution. Builds with assertions enabled fail the assertion instead and panic, giving a remotely triggerable denial of service. The fix introduces a separate bt_hci_tx_pool sized to MAX(BT_BUF_ACL_RX_SIZE, BT_BUF_EVT_RX_SIZE) for the controller-to-host direction while leaving the host-to-device pool at the endpoint packet size, which is already bounds-checked during reassembly.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-23T19:56:19.432+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-23T19:56:19.432+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr","name":"zephyr","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"zephyrproject\",\n                    \"product\": \"zephyr\",\n                    \"collectionURL\": \"https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr\",\n                    \"packageName\": \"zephyr\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"subsys/usb/device_next/class/bt_hci.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"programRoutines\": [\n                        {\n                            \"name\": \"bt_hci_tx_sync_in\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"3.3.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"4.4.2\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 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,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commit/0419defd2391652edc27689d206fcd9c48439d4a","https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/security/advisories/GHSA-w5px-w97v-c3hj"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-79982","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-79982","identifiers":["CVE-2026-79982"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
