CVE-2026-64573

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: qca: fix NVM tag length underflow in TLV parser

In the TLV_TYPE_NVM branch of qca_tlv_check_data() the tag loop bound is
"while (idx < length - sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm))". "length" is a signed
int from the firmware TLV header and sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm) is a
size_t (12), so "length" is converted to size_t and any firmware-supplied
"length" < 12 makes the subtraction wrap to a huge value. The loop body
then reads a 12-byte struct tlv_type_nvm past the end of the short
vmalloc'd firmware buffer (and the EDL_TAG_ID_* handlers can write past it).

Rewrite the bound as "idx + sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm) <= length"; both
operands are non-negative, so it no longer underflows and a "length" too
small for one record correctly skips the loop.
