Daemon crash via AVRCP length overread
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in AVRCP handling in BlueZ allows physically proximate attackers to crash bluetoothd via crafted GetFolderItems responses. The parse_media_element() and parse_media_folder() functions trust packet length fields in GetFolderItems responses and can read past the end of a buffer while parsing media items and folders. Exploitation requires a user to pair with a malicious Bluetooth device within range; Red Hat reports daemon crashes and states that heap contents may also be exposed, with no reported data-modification path.
