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

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

Bluetooth: ISO: drop ISO_END frames received without prior ISO_START

ISO data PDUs carry a packet-boundary flag indicating START, CONT, END
or SINGLE. The ISO_CONT branch of iso_recv() guards against a missing
ISO_START by checking conn->rx_len before touching conn->rx_skb, but
ISO_END does not.

If a peer sends an ISO_END as the first packet on a fresh ISO
connection, conn->rx_skb is still NULL and conn->rx_len is zero, so
skb_put(conn->rx_skb, ...) dereferences NULL and oopses. For BIS,
where receivers sync to a broadcaster without pairing, any broadcaster
on the air can trigger this.

Mirror the ISO_CONT check at the top of ISO_END so a stray end fragment
is logged and dropped instead of crashing the host.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64128 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:
