The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3687-1 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)

  - Bluetooth LE and BR/EDR secure pairing in Bluetooth Core Specification 2.1 through 5.2 may permit a nearby     man-in-the-middle attacker to identify the Passkey used during pairing (in the Passkey authentication     procedure) by reflection of the public key and the authentication evidence of the initiating device,     potentially permitting this attacker to complete authenticated pairing with the responding device using     the correct Passkey for the pairing session. The attack methodology determines the Passkey value one bit     at a time. (CVE-2020-26558)

  - Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via adjacent access. (CVE-2021-0129)

  - bluetoothd from bluez incorrectly saves adapters' Discoverable status when a device is powered down, and     restores it when powered up. If a device is powered down while discoverable, it will be discoverable when     powered on again. This could lead to inadvertent exposure of the bluetooth stack to physically nearby     attackers. (CVE-2021-3658)

  - 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)

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

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5155-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that BlueZ incorrectly handled the Discoverable status when a device is powered down.
    This could result in devices being powered up discoverable, contrary to expectations. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 21.04, and Ubuntu 21.10. (CVE-2021-3658)

    It was discovered that BlueZ incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause BlueZ to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-41229)

    It was discovered that the BlueZ gatt server incorrectly handled disconnects. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause BlueZ to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2021-43400)

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3981-1 advisory.

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 Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3879 advisory.
