Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: Fix slab-out-of-bounds read in
hci_le_direct_adv_report_evt()

num_reports is not being properly checked. A malformed event packet with a large num_reports number makes hci_le_direct_adv_report_evt() read out of bounds. Fix it.

Hi all,

I just generated a rebased patch that applies to 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14. I have sent it to syzbot for testing (once again, but against 4.14), and I will send it here once syzbot is happy.

Cheers,
Peilin Ye
