Summary

The Linux kernel Bluetooth Intel PCIe driver from version 6.10 has an off-by-one bounds check in btintel_pcie_submit_rx(). The check allows an index equal to the array size, so the driver accesses one element past the end of the array.

Description from the CNA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: fix off-by-one bounds check in RX submit btintel_pcie_submit_rx() used frbd_index > rxq->count to guard the FRBD array access, allowing frbd_index == rxq->count to pass through and index one element past the end of the array. Change the check to >= rxq->count so every out-of-range index is rejected. This issue was reported by Claude Mythos.
