Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the Bluetooth Classic implementation on several chipsets does not properly handle the reception of continuous unsolicited LMP responses. A remote attacker in radio range can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.

Mitigation
Cybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
