Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2023-53057 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 7.1 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: HCI: Fix global-out-of-bounds
To loop a variable-length array, hci_init_stage_sync(stage) considers
that stage[i] is valid as long as stage[i-1].func is valid.
Thus, the last element of stage[].func should be intentionally invalid
as hci_init0[], le_init2[], and others did.
However, amp_init1[] and amp_init2[] have no invalid element, letting
hci_init_stage_sync() keep accessing amp_init1[] over its valid range.
This patch fixes this by adding {} in the last of amp_init1[] and
amp_init2[].
