An update of the bluez package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0167-1 advisory.

(CVE-2022-3563)

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

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-262 advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6809-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that BlueZ could be made to dereference invalid memory. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-3563)

    It was discovered that BlueZ could be made to write out of bounds. If a user were tricked into connecting     to a malicious device, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-27349)

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0436 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-50230:
    BlueZ Phone Book Access Profile Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This     vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of     BlueZ. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must connect to a     malicious Bluetooth device.

    The specific flaw exists within the handling of the Phone Book Access profile. The issue results from the     lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-     based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-     CAN-20938.

    CVE-2023-50229:
    BlueZ Phone Book Access Profile Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This     vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of     BlueZ. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must connect to a     malicious Bluetooth device.

    The specific flaw exists within the handling of the Phone Book Access profile. The issue results from the     lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-     based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-     CAN-20936.

    CVE-2023-27349:
    BlueZ Audio Profile AVRCP Improper Validation of Array Index Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This     vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code via Bluetooth on affected     installations of BlueZ. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must     connect to a malicious device.

    The specific flaw exists within the handling of the AVRCP protocol. The issue results from the lack of     proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer.
    An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-19908.
