NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.06 : bluez Vulnerability (NS-SA-2023-0092)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 187353

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has bluez packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL bluez packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
