CVE-2023-51580

Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.7)—

BlueZ Audio Profile AVRCP avrcp_parse_attribute_list Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information 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 read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-20852.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes adyacentes a la red revelar información confidencial a través de Bluetooth en las instalaciones afectadas de BlueZ. Se requiere la interacción del usuario para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe conectarse a un dispositivo malicioso. La falla específica existe en el manejo del protocolo AVRCP. El problema se debe a la falta de una validación adecuada de los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede provocar una lectura más allá del final de un búfer asignado.
