A remote peer can send an AVDTP frame shorter than the assembler expects. The current MessageAssembler.on_pdu() unconditionally accesses pdu[0], pdu[1], and (for START packets) pdu[2], so a 0-, 1-, or 2-byte frame raises IndexError. The exception propagates up through L2CAP's read loop and tears down the channel — same DoS class as #912 (empty ATT PDU) and #914 (unbounded SDP recursion). Fix: validate length before each access. Empty PDUs and packets shorter than the type-specific minimum are logged and dropped; the assembler stays alive so the L2CAP channel is not torn down. - bumble/avdtp.py: length guards in MessageAssembler.on_pdu before accessing pdu[0], pdu[1], pdu[2]. - tests/avdtp_test.py: regression test covering empty PDU, 1-byte SINGLE, 1-byte START, 2-byte START — all four would have raised IndexError pre-fix; assembler now drops without raising.

Bluetooth Stack for Apps, Emulation, Test and Experimentation
Bumble is a full-featured Bluetooth stack written entirely in Python. It supports most of the common Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) protocols and profiles, including GAP, L2CAP, ATT, GATT, SMP, SDP, RFCOMM, HFP, HID and A2DP. The stack can be used with physical radios via HCI over USB, UART, or the Linux VHCI, as well as virtual radios, including the virtual Bluetooth support of the Android emulator.

Usage
Getting Started
For a quick start to using Bumble, see the Getting Started guide.
Dependencies
To install package dependencies needed to run the bumble examples, execute the following commands:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install ".[test,development,documentation]"
Examples
Refer to the Examples Documentation for details on the included example scripts and how to run them.
The complete list of Examples, and what they are designed to do is here.
There are also a set of Apps and Tools that show the utility of Bumble.
Using Bumble With a USB Dongle
Bumble is easiest to use with a dedicated USB dongle.
This is because internal Bluetooth interfaces tend to be locked down by the operating system.
You can use the usb_probe tool (all platforms) or lsusb (Linux or macOS) to list the available USB devices on your system.
See the USB Transport page for details on how to refer to USB devices. Also, if you are on a mac, see these instructions.
