[PATCH 2/4] Bluetooth: coredump: Fix btmon heap-buffer-overflow

From: Zijun Hu <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-14 03:43:20
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: bluetooth subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Marcel Holtmann, Luiz Augusto von Dentz, Linus Torvalds

The collected coredump data can exceed btmon's maximum packet size of
1490 bytes, But hci_devcd_dump() forwards the entire coredump data as an
HCI_DIAG_PKT without checking its size, causing below issue in btmon.

Why ?

For a monitor packet, its payload length @len in header may exceed
BTSNOOP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE, btmon uses it to access payload in @buf.
so cause heap-buffer-overflow.

Kernel:
include/net/bluetooth/hci_mon.h
struct hci_mon_hdr {
	__le16  opcode;
	__le16  index;
	__le16  len;
} __packed;

BlueZ:
src/shared/btsnoop.h
monitor/control.c
struct control_data {
	uint16_t channel;
	int fd;
	unsigned char buf[BTSNOOP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE];
	uint16_t offset;
};

Issue:

Fix by forwarding the collected dump data as an HCI_DIAG_PKT only when
its size <= 1490.
