Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: L2CAP: ecred_reconfigure: send packed pdu, not stack pointer

Commit 1c08108f3014 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end
warnings") converted the on-stack request PDU in l2cap_ecred_reconfigure()
from an explicit packed struct to DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(), but did not adjust the
size and source-pointer arguments to l2cap_send_cmd():

  -    struct {
  -            struct l2cap_ecred_reconf_req req;
  -            __le16 scid;
  -    } pdu;
  +    DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(struct l2cap_ecred_reconf_req, pdu, scid, 1);
       ...
       l2cap_send_cmd(conn, chan->ident, L2CAP_ECRED_RECONF_REQ,
                      sizeof(pdu), &pdu);

After the conversion, DEFINE_RAW_FLEX() expands to declare an anonymous
union pdu_u plus a local pointer "pdu" pointing at it. Therefore:

  - sizeof(pdu) is now sizeof(struct l2cap_ecred_reconf_req *) = 8 on
    64-bit (4 on 32-bit), not the 6 bytes of (mtu, mps, scid[1]).
  - &pdu is the address of the local pointer's stack storage, not the
    address of the request payload.

l2cap_send_cmd() forwards (data, count) to l2cap_build_cmd(), which calls
skb_put_data(skb, data, count). The L2CAP_ECRED_RECONFIGURE_REQ packet
body therefore contains 8 bytes copied from the kernel stack starting at
&pdu -- the 8 bytes overlap the pdu pointer's value, leaking a kernel
stack address to the paired Bluetooth peer. The intended (mtu, mps, scid)
fields are not transmitted at all, so the peer rejects the request as
malformed and the L2CAP_ECRED_RECONFIGURE feature itself has been broken
for the local-side initiator since the introducing commit landed.

The sibling site l2cap_ecred_conn_req() in the same commit was converted
correctly (sizeof(*pdu) + len, pdu); only this site was missed.

Restore the original semantics: pass the full flex-struct size via
struct_size(pdu, scid, 1) and the pdu pointer (the struct address) as
the source.

Validated on a stock 7.0-based host kernel via the real call path:
setsockopt(SOL_BLUETOOTH, BT_RCVMTU, ...) on a BT_CONNECTED
L2CAP_MODE_EXT_FLOWCTL socket emits an L2CAP_ECRED_RECONFIGURE_REQ
whose body is 8 bytes (the on-stack pdu local's value) rather than
the expected 6. Three captures from fresh socket / fresh hciemu peer
on the same host -- low bytes vary per call, high 0xffff confirms a
kernel virtual address (KASLR-randomised stack slot, not a fixed
string):

  RECONF_REQ body (ident=0x02 len=8): 42 fb 54 af 0e ca ff ff
  RECONF_REQ body (ident=0x02 len=8): 52 3d 2e af 0e ca ff ff
  RECONF_REQ body (ident=0x02 len=8): b2 fc 5b af 0e ca ff ff

After this patch the body is 6 bytes carrying the expected
little-endian (mtu, mps, scid).

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64127 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
