[PATCH v2 0/3] Bluetooth: btintel: harden version TLV parsing
From: Laxman Acharya Padhya
Date: Fri Aug 14 2026 - 13:15:37 EST
Malformed Intel version TLVs can make btintel_parse_version_tlv() read
beyond the received response. Validate the minimum value length for each
known fixed-size TLV and bound the firmware ID conversion by the TLV's
advertised length. Propagate parser failures to the setup path in a
separate patch.
The two bounds fixes are kept separate because they were introduced by
different commits and apply to different stable trees. The parser error
propagation is also separate because it changes setup behavior.
Changes in v2:
- split the minimum-length validation and firmware ID bounds fix
- use the appropriate Fixes tag for each bounds fix
- keep parser error propagation as a separate behavioral change
- add Ali's Reviewed-by tag to the two bounds fixes
