What it is

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

Bluetooth: btmtk: validate WMT event SKB length before struct access

btmtk_usb_hci_wmt_sync() casts the WMT event response SKB data to

struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt (7 bytes) and struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt_funcc

(9 bytes) without first checking that the SKB contains enough data.

A short firmware response causes out-of-bounds reads from SKB tailroom.

Use skb_pull_data() to validate and advance past the base WMT event

header. For the FUNC_CTRL case, pull the additional status field bytes

before accessing them.
