EPSS 0.2%

Published 2026-09-04 (44 days ago) by the Linux kernel CNA. Subsystem net/bluetooth. Debian urgency: not yet assigned.

What to do, per Debian release

Debian's own status for CVE-2026-80761 in every release this site tracks, and what each one means in practice. Every status below is the one the Debian Security Team publishes for this CVE. source

ReleaseStatus VersionWhat this means
Debian 12bookwormvulnerable6.1.190-1No fix published anywhere yet, neither in Debian nor upstream for the series bookworm tracks. Watch the Debian tracker page for this CVE. Advisories for bookworm have historically landed a median of 23 days after publication.

The vulnerability

What the bug is

iso_sock_getname() fills a struct sockaddr_iso in place and returns its size without clearing it first, so bytes it does not write are copied to user space from the kernel stack. The getsockname(2) and getpeername(2) paths both run through do_getsockname(), which hands getname() an uninitialized sockaddr_storage on the stack and copies back up to the number of bytes getname() returns, so the driver has to initialize every byte it accounts for. Two ranges are left uninitialized: - struct sockaddr_iso is 10 bytes but only 9 are written (family, iso_bdaddr, iso_bdaddr_type), leaking the trailing pad byte on every call. - for a broadcast peer (BIS_LINK or PA_LINK) the returned length grows by sizeof(struct sockaddr_iso_bc), but only bc_sid, bc_num_bis and bc_bis are filled; bc_bdaddr and bc_bdaddr_type, the first 7 bytes of that structure, are never written. An unprivileged process can open a BTPROTO_ISO socket and reach the pad leak with getsockname(); the broadcast leak needs an established BIS/PA connection. l2cap and rfcomm already memset their sockaddr in getname for the same reason; do the same here.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

What this is
BLUETOOTH SUBSYSTEMMAINTAINERS section matched on net/bluetooth/ · linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org · Supported
Kernel module
bluetooth

Check it on the machine

grep -wE 'CONFIG_BT|CONFIG_BT_LE' /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w bluetooth

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian builds this, but not on every flavour. At least one release below builds the code on some of its kernel flavours and not on others, so the answer depends on the architecture and flavour installed.

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself.

Why the CNA scored it this way

The kernel CNA published no CVSS vector and no reasoning for CVE-2026-80761, which is why it is shown as unrated rather than given an invented score. 6,405 of the 20,413 CVEs here carry reasoning; this is not one of them.
