CVE-2026-89583 — In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: eir: Fix…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: eir: Fix OOB read in eir_get_service_data() eir_get_service_data() walks the advertising data for a Service Data field with a matching UUID. On a mismatch it advances: eir += dlen; eir_len -= dlen; eir_get_data() reports dlen as the field's data length, but the field spans dlen + 2 bytes once its length and type bytes count, and more when non-Service-Data fields were skipped to reach it. The pointer lands correctly on the next field. eir_len does not, and the shortfall compounds across fields until eir_get_data() reads the length and type bytes of a "field" past the end of the buffer. For an ISO broadcast sink that buffer is hcon->le_per_adv_data[], filled from the periodic advertising reports of a remote broadcaster. A PA payload packed with mismatching Service Data fields walks off the array into the rest of struct hci_conn. A drifted field that matches the BAA UUID puts those bytes in iso_pi(sk)->base, where user space reads them back with getsockopt(BT_ISO_BASE). Recompute eir_len from the end of the buffer each iteration.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- Technical severity (high)+6
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Affected products have not been identified by the sources yet: follow the vendor advisory and map candidate assets by component name.
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
Affected scope
Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
Affected products not yet identified by the sources.

The CVSS vector, decoded. It describes the attack, not your exposure to it.
Every base score collected
Sources score independently and may disagree; each row says who scored it and under which version.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-89583 is "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: eir: Fix…", rated High. Affected products have not been identified by the sources yet. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 8.1 describes technical severity. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
