Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem, specifically within the `btmtk` driver. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted Wireless Management Terminal (WMT) event response. The system processes these responses without properly validating the length of incoming data, which can lead to an out-of-bounds read. This issue could result in information disclosure or a denial of service (DoS) condition.
