BlueZ before 5.59 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service because malformed and invalid capabilities can be processed in profiles/audio/avdtp.c.

An update of the bluez package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - kernel: Authvalue leak in Bluetooth Mesh Provisioning (CVE-2020-26559)

  - bluez: BlueZ allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service because malformed and     invalid capabilities can be processed in profiles/audio/avdtp.c (CVE-2022-39177)

  - Pairing in Bluetooth Core v5.2 and earlier may permit an unauthenticated attacker to acquire credentials     with two pairing devices via adjacent access when the unauthenticated user initiates different pairing     methods in each peer device and an end-user erroneously completes both pairing procedures with the MITM     using the confirmation number of one peer as the passkey of the other. An adjacent, unauthenticated     attacker could be able to initiate any Bluetooth operation on either attacked device exposed by the     enabled Bluetooth profiles. This exposure may be limited when the user must authorize certain access     explicitly, but so long as a user assumes that it is the intended remote device requesting permissions,     device-local protections may be weakened. (CVE-2020-10134)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - kernel: impersonation attack in Bluetooth Mesh Provisioning (CVE-2020-26560)

  - bluez: BlueZ allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service because malformed and     invalid capabilities can be processed in profiles/audio/avdtp.c (CVE-2022-39177)

  - A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected is the function     read_50_controller_cap_complete of the file tools/mgmt-tester.c of the component BlueZ. The manipulation     of the argument cap_len leads to null pointer dereference. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this     issue. VDB-211086 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3563)

According to the versions of the bluez packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - BlueZ before 5.59 allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information because     profiles/audio/avrcp.c does not validate params_len. (CVE-2022-39176)

  - BlueZ before 5.59 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service because malformed and     invalid capabilities can be processed in profiles/audio/avdtp.c. (CVE-2022-39177)

According to the versions of the bluez package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in bluetoothd in BlueZ through 5.48. The vulnerability lies in the handling of a     SVC_ATTR_REQ by the SDP implementation. By crafting a malicious CSTATE, it is possible to trick the server     into returning more bytes than the buffer actually holds, resulting in leaking arbitrary heap data. The     root cause can be found in the function service_attr_req of sdpd-request.c. The server does not check     whether the CSTATE data is the same in consecutive requests, and instead simply trusts that it is the     same. (CVE-2019-8921)

  - A heap overflow vulnerability was found in bluez in versions prior to 5.63. An attacker with local network     access could pass specially crafted files causing an application to halt or crash, leading to a denial of     service. (CVE-2022-0204)

  - BlueZ before 5.59 allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information because     profiles/audio/avrcp.c does not validate params_len. (CVE-2022-39176)

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3157 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in bluetoothd in BlueZ through 5.48. The vulnerability lies in the handling of a     SVC_ATTR_REQ by the SDP implementation. By crafting a malicious CSTATE, it is possible to trick the server     into returning more bytes than the buffer actually holds, resulting in leaking arbitrary heap data. The     root cause can be found in the function service_attr_req of sdpd-request.c. The server does not check     whether the CSTATE data is the same in consecutive requests, and instead simply trusts that it is the     same. (CVE-2019-8921)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in bluetoothd in BlueZ through 5.48. There isn't any check on     whether there is enough space in the destination buffer. The function simply appends all data passed to     it. The values of all attributes that are requested are appended to the output buffer. There are no size     checks whatsoever, resulting in a simple heap overflow if one can craft a request where the response is     large enough to overflow the preallocated buffer. This issue exists in service_attr_req gets called by     process_request (in sdpd-request.c), which also allocates the response buffer. (CVE-2019-8922)

  - BlueZ is a Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux. In affected versions a vulnerability exists in     sdp_cstate_alloc_buf which allocates memory which will always be hung in the singly linked list of cstates     and will not be freed. This will cause a memory leak over time. The data can be a very large object, which     can be caused by an attacker continuously sending sdp packets and this may cause the service of the target     device to crash. (CVE-2021-41229)

  - An issue was discovered in gatt-database.c in BlueZ 5.61. A use-after-free can occur when a client     disconnects during D-Bus processing of a WriteValue call. (CVE-2021-43400)

  - A heap overflow vulnerability was found in bluez in versions prior to 5.63. An attacker with local network     access could pass specially crafted files causing an application to halt or crash, leading to a denial of     service. (CVE-2022-0204)

  - BlueZ before 5.59 allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information because     profiles/audio/avrcp.c does not validate params_len. (CVE-2022-39176)
