It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-53208 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53208/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53208/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53208","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53208/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53208","record":{"aliases":["AZL-90401","BELL-CVE-2026-53208","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53208","GHSA-hhxp-r7j7-v7jv","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-53208","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53208","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53208","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53208","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53208"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel Bluetooth","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A remote Bluetooth peer can cause excessive resource consumption and potential denial of service by sending oversized signaling packets containing multiple echo requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: L2CAP: reject BR/EDR signaling packets over MTUsig\n\nnet/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:l2cap_sig_channel() accepts BR/EDR\nsignaling packets up to the channel MTU and dispatches each command\nwithout enforcing the signaling MTU (MTUsig). A Bluetooth BR/EDR peer\nwithin radio range can send a fixed-channel CID 0x0001 packet that is\nlarger than MTUsig and contains many L2CAP_ECHO_REQ commands before\npairing. In a real-radio stock-kernel run, one 681-byte signaling\npacket containing 168 zero-length ECHO_REQ commands made the target\ntransmit 168 ECHO_RSP frames over about 220 ms.\n\nImpact: a Bluetooth BR/EDR peer within radio range, before pairing, can\nforce 168 ECHO_RSP frames from one 681-byte fixed-channel signaling\npacket containing packed ECHO_REQ commands.\n\nDefine Linux's BR/EDR signaling MTU as the spec minimum of 48 bytes and\nreject any larger signaling packet with one L2CAP_COMMAND_REJECT_RSP\ncarrying L2CAP_REJ_MTU_EXCEEDED before any command is dispatched.\n\nThe Bluetooth Core spec wording for MTUExceeded says the reject\nidentifier shall match the first request command in the packet, and\nthat packets containing only responses shall be silently discarded.\nLinux intentionally deviates from that prescription: silently\ndiscarding desynchronizes the peer because the remote stack never\nlearns its responses were dropped, and locating the first request\ncommand requires walking command headers past MTUsig, i.e. processing\nbytes from a packet we have already decided is too large to process.\nWe therefore always emit one reject and use the identifier from the\nfirst command header, a single fixed-offset byte read.\n\nThe unrestricted BR/EDR signaling parser and ECHO_REQ response path both\ntrace to the initial git import; no later introducing commit is\navailable for a Fixes tag.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Bluetooth: L2CAP: reject BR/EDR signaling packets over MTUsig","id":"CVE-2026-53208","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Bluetooth: hci_sync: reject oversized Broadcast Announcement prepend","id":"CVE-2026-53209"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mm/memory-failure: fix hugetlb_lock AA deadlock in get_huge_page_for_hwpoison","id":"CVE-2026-53207"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-06-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A remote Bluetooth peer can cause excessive resource consumption and potential denial of service by sending oversized signaling packets containing multiple echo requests.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53208/"}
