Summary

CVE-2022-49754 is a recently identified buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. Specifically, in the function mgmt_mesh_add(), a destination buffer named 'mesh_tx->param' of size 48 is being used, while the caller 'mesh_send' expects a minimum size of 50. Consequently, if data larger than the available buffer size is sent, a buffer overflow occurs. This issue has been resolved in the latest Linux kernel releases.
