CVE-2026-43334 — Linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: SMP: force responder
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: SMP: force responder MITM requirements before building the pairing response smp_cmd_pairing_req() currently builds the pairing response from the initiator auth_req before enforcing the local BT_SECURITY_HIGH requirement. If the initiator omits SMP_AUTH_MITM, the response can also omit it even though the local side still requires MITM. tk_request() then sees an auth value without SMP_AUTH_MITM an CVSSv3.1 8.8 (HIGH)
