Bluetooth: btrtl: validate firmware patch bounds

2026-07-13T14:08:06Z

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: fix RTL8761B/BU broken LE extended scan

2026-06-11T18:24:38Z

RTL8761B and RTL8761BU devices report HCI version 5.1 but do not support the LE Extended Scan commands. This causes repeated failures with Opcode 0x2042 (LE Set Extended Scan Parameters) returning -EBUSY when BlueZ attempts extended scanning while a connection is active. Set HCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_EXT_SCAN for CHIP_ID_8761B to make BlueZ fall back to legacy LE scan commands which the firmware supports correctly. Tested with RTL8761BU (USB ID 0bda:a728) where the issue manifested as continuous 'Opcode 0x2042 failed: -16' errors in dmesg whenever a BLE connection was active.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28Z

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

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

2025-11-11T14:06:57Z

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

2025-04-10T17:09:16Z

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.
