Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In BlueZ 5.42, an out-of-bounds read was observed in "le_meta_ev_dump" function in "tools/parser/hci.c" source file. This issue exists because 'subevent' (which is used to read correct element from 'ev_le_meta_str' array) is overflowed.
