Medium [CVE-2026-16473] heap out-of-bounds read via crafted sbc audio frame
CVE-2026-16473Source published Source updated
A flaw was found in the sbc library (BlueZ SBC codec). An off-by-one error in the SBC frame decoder allows a crafted audio payload to trigger a one-byte heap out-of-bounds read. This could allow an adjacent attacker streaming Bluetooth audio to read a single byte of adjacent heap memory. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-125. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: sbc.
