From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

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

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

Bluetooth: btintel: Validate length before parsing diagnostics TLV

btintel_diagnostics() accesses tlv->val[0] without first validating
that the diagnostics VSE is long enough to contain that field, so
may cause reading data beyond the received frame.

Fix by validating the length before access.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74532 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:
