BlueZ sdp-xml.c type confusion via RegisterProfile(ServiceRecord) can crash bluetoothd (local DoS): a crafted nested ServiceRecord can corrupt the SDP XML parser stack so scalar union data is treated as a sequence pointer, allowing a local caller to crash bluetoothd.

Buffer Overflow
AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in BlueZ, the Linux Bluetooth protocol stack. A remote user within Bluetooth radio range can send a specially crafted Extended Inquiry Response (EIR) packet that causes a buffer overflow when the target device performs Bluetooth discovery. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the bluetoothd service and may allow for arbitrary code execution.

This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of BlueZ. An attacker must first obtain the ability to pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the stream endpoints. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root.

Severity
6.3
AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in BlueZ. Insufficient validation of packet length fields in GetFolderItems responses within the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) implementation allows a malicious Bluetooth device within range to cause an out-of-bounds memory read. This vulnerability, affecting the parsemediaelement() and parsemediafolder() functions, can lead to a crash of the bluetoothd daemon, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). It could also potentially expose sensitive heap memory contents. Exploitation requires user interaction to pair with the malicious device.

Hello,

I would like to request a CVE ID for an Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability (CWE-125) that was recently fixed in the official BlueZ Bluetooth stack.

Vulnerability Type: CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) Component: profiles/audio/avrcp.c (AVRCP GetFolderItems parsing) Impact: A remote Bluetooth device acting as an AVRCP controller can send a specially crafted response with an inflated name length field but a short packet size, causing bluetoothd to read past the allocated packet buffer (Denial of Service / Information Disclosure).

The vulnerability was discovered by me, and the patch has been officially accepted and applied to the BlueZ master branch by the maintainers (Red Hat / Intel).

Fixed Commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=bd8989620ed6

Discoverer: Elman Shahbazov (shahbazovelman97 () gmail com)

Thank you, Elman Shahbazov

A flaw was found in the sbc library (BlueZ SBC codec). An off-by-one error in the SBC frame decoder allows a crafted audio payload to trigger a one-byte heap out-of-bounds read. This could allow an adjacent attacker streaming Bluetooth audio to read a single byte of adjacent heap memory.
