  - A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in BlueZ, the Linux Bluetooth protocol stack. A remote
    user within Bluetooth radio range can send a specially crafted Extended Inquiry Response (EIR) packet that
    causes a buffer overflow when the target device performs Bluetooth discovery. This vulnerability can lead
    to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the bluetoothd service and may allow for arbitrary code
    execution. (CVE-2026-80186)
