Bluetooth: btrtl: validate firmware patch bounds

2026-07-24T14:03:45+00:00

commit 609c5b04a28dc1b0f3af6a7bc93055135b2d2059 upstream. rtlbt_parse_firmware() copies patch_length - 4 bytes before appending the firmware version. A malformed firmware patch shorter than the version field can make this subtraction underflow and turn the copy into an oversized read and write during Bluetooth setup. The existing patch_offset + patch_length check can also wrap on 32-bit architectures. Validate the patch length and range without arithmetic overflow before allocating or copying the patch.

Bluetooth: btrtl: Avoid loading the config file on security chips

[ Upstream commit cd8dbd9ef600435439bb0e70af0a1d9e2193aecb ] For chips with security enabled, it's only possible to load firmware with a valid signature pattern. If key_id is not zero, it indicates a security chip, and the driver will not load the config file. - Example log for a security chip.

Bluetooth: btrtl: Prevent potential NULL dereference

2025-04-25T08:45:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 324dddea321078a6eeb535c2bff5257be74c9799 ] The btrtl_initialize() function checks that rtl_load_file() either had an error or it loaded a zero length file. However, if it loaded a zero length file then the error code is not set correctly. It results in an error pointer vs NULL bug, followed by a NULL pointer dereference.

Bluetooth: btrtl: Set msft ext address filter quirk for RTL8852B

[ Upstream commit 9a0570948c5def5c59e588dc0e009ed850a1f5a1 ] For tracking multiple devices concurrently with a condition. The patch enables the HCI_QUIRK_USE_MSFT_EXT_ADDRESS_FILTER quirk on RTL8852B controller. The quirk setting is based on commit 9e14606d8f38 ("Bluetooth: msft: Extended monitor tracking by address filter") With this setting, when a pattern monitor detects a device, this feature issues an address monitor for tracking that device.

Bluetooth: msft: Extended monitor tracking by address filter

2023-08-11T18:39:58+00:00

Since limited tracking device per condition, this feature is to support tracking multiple devices concurrently. When a pattern monitor detects the device, this feature issues an address monitor for tracking that device. Let pattern monitor can keep monitor new devices. This feature adds an address filter when receiving a LE monitor device event which monitor handle is for a pattern, and the controller started monitoring the device. And this feature also has cancelled the monitor advertisement from address filters when receiving a LE monitor device event when the controller stopped monitoring the device specified by an address and monitor handle. Below is an example to know the feature adds the address filter. //Add MSFT pattern monitor < HCI Command: Vendor (0x3f|0x00f0) plen 14 #142 [hci0] 55.552420 03 b8 a4 03 ff 01 01 06 09 05 5f 52 45 46 .........._REF > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 6 #143 [hci0] 55.653960 Vendor (0x3f|0x00f0) ncmd 2 Status: Success (0x00) 03 00 //Got event from the pattern monitor > HCI Event: Vendor (0xff) plen 18 #148 [hci0] 58.384953 23 79 54 33 77 88 97 68 02 00 fb c1 29 eb 27 b8 #yT3w..h....).'. 00 01 .. //Add MSFT address monitor (Sample address: B8:27:EB:29:C1:FB) < HCI Command: Vendor (0x3f|0x00f0) plen 13 #149 [hci0] 58.385067 03 b8 a4 03 ff 04 00 fb c1 29 eb 27 b8 .........).'. //Report to userspace about found device (ADV Monitor Device Found) @ MGMT Event: Unknown (0x002f) plen 38 {0x0003} [hci0] 58.680042 01 00 fb c1 29 eb 27 b8 01 ce 00 00 00 00 16 00 ....).'......... 0a 09 4b 45 59 42 44 5f 52 45 46 02 01 06 03 19 ..KEYBD_REF..... c1 03 03 03 12 18 ...... //Got event from address monitor > HCI Event: Vendor (0xff) plen 18 #152 [hci0] 58.672956 23 79 54 33 77 88 97 68 02 00 fb c1 29 eb 27 b8 #yT3w..h....).'. 01 01 Signed-off-by: Alex Lu Signed-off-by: Hilda Wu Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: Luiz Augusto von Dentz
