  - BlueZ A2DP Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows
    network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of BlueZ. An attacker must
    first obtain the ability to pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target system in order to exploit
    this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the stream endpoints. The issue
    results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a
    fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the
    context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29429. (CVE-2026-19774)
