Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btintel: bound firmware ID by TLV length The firmware ID is treated as a NUL-terminated string even though the TLV length is its only boundary. If the value does not contain a NUL terminator, snprintf() can read beyond the received response. Limit the conversion to the advertised TLV value length.
