CVE-2024-48986
An issue was discovered in MBed OS 6.16.0. Its hci parsing software dynamically determines the length of certain hci packets by reading a byte from its header. Certain events cause a callback, the logic for which allocates a buffer (the length of which is determined by looking up the event type in a table). The subsequent write operation, however, copies the amount of data specified in the packet header, which may lead to a buffer overflow. This bug is trivial to exploit for a denial of service but is not certain to suffice to bring the system down and can generally not be exploited further because the exploitable buffer is dynamically allocated.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.5

"value": "Se descubrió un problema en MBed OS 6.16.0. Su software de análisis de hci determina dinámicamente la longitud de ciertos paquetes hci leyendo un byte de su encabezado. Ciertos eventos provocan una devolución de llamada, cuya lógica asigna un búfer (cuya longitud se determina buscando el tipo de evento en una tabla). Sin embargo, la operación de escritura posterior copia la cantidad de datos especificada en el encabezado del paquete, lo que puede provocar un desbordamiento del búfer. Este error es fácil de explotar para una denegación de servicio, pero no es seguro que sea suficiente para hacer caer el sistema y, por lo general, no se puede explotar más porque el búfer explotable se asigna dinámicamente."
