  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nBluetooth: MGMT: validate LTK enc_size on load\nLoad Long Term Keys stores the user-provided enc_size and later uses\nit to size fixed-size stack operations when replying to LE LTK\nrequests. An enc_size larger than the 16-byte key buffer can therefore\noverflow the reply stack buffer.\nReject oversized enc_size values while validating the management LTK\nrecord so invalid keys never reach the stored key state.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth management (MGMT) component. An attacker could exploit a vulnerability in how Long Term Keys (LTK) are loaded. By providing an oversized encryption size, a stack buffer overflow can occur, potentially leading to a denial of service." ],
