Overview

CVE-2026-64539 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 27, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: eir: Fix stack OOB write when prepending the Flags AD

eir_create_adv_data() builds the advertising data into a fixed-size

buffer ("size", 31 for the legacy path). It may prepend a 3-byte "Flags"

AD structure (LE_AD_NO_BREDR on an LE-only controller) and then copies

the per-instance data without checking that it still fits:

memcpy(ptr, adv->adv_data, adv->adv_data_len);

tlv_data_max_len() only reserves those 3 bytes when the user-supplied

flags carry a managed-flags bit, so an instance added with flags == 0 is

accepted with adv_data_len up to the full buffer. At advertise time the

flags are still prepended, and the memcpy() writes 3 + adv_data_len

bytes into the size-byte buffer:

BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in eir_create_adv_data (net/bluetooth/eir.c:301)

Write of size 31 at addr ffff88800a547bdc by task kworker/u9:0/65

Workqueue: hci0 hci_cmd_sync_work

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64539?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64539 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
