bluez: A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in BlueZ, the Linux Bluetooth protocol stack
CVE-2026-80186 is fixed in 25 products on 1 platform, first by bluetooth 5.48-0ubuntu3.9+esm3, released September 6, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in BlueZ, the Linux Bluetooth protocol stack. A remote user within Bluetooth radio range can send a specially crafted Extended Inquiry Response (EIR) packet that causes a buffer overflow when the target device performs Bluetooth discovery. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the bluetoothd service and may allow for arbitrary code execution.
