Kernel-buffer disclosure via unchecked Bluetooth report length
Published Sep 16, 2026 · Updated Sep 16, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux Wacom HID driver allows physically proximate attackers to disclose kernel-buffer data via short Bluetooth reports. wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_irq ignores len and invokes fixed-offset parsers that read through data[285] or data[45], then forwards resulting values through evdev. Exploitation requires a paired or spoofed Bluetooth peripheral advertising a matching VID/PID and sending report 0x80 or 0x81 below the branch minimum.
