Kernel-memory disclosure via unchecked SCO option length
Published May 20, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in Linux Bluetooth SCO sockets allows local users to disclose kernel memory by passing a short setsockopt buffer. sco_sock_setsockopt() copies a four-byte option from the user pointer without first requiring an option length of at least four bytes. An unprivileged local account can reach the flaw without Bluetooth radio traffic or a paired peer, and repeated access can leak adjacent kernel data or crash the host.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
