What to do

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately inventory devices and products using Cypress Bluetooth SDK v3.66 to identify exposure. Since no patches are currently available, mitigating controls include limiting physical and wireless access to BLE interfaces, such as disabling BLE when not in use or restricting BLE communication range. Network segmentation and monitoring for anomalous BLE traffic patterns, especially malformed LL_PAUSE_ENC_REQ packets, can help detect exploitation attempts. Vendors and developers should prioritize updating to patched SDK versions once released by Cypress. For critical environments, consider deploying BLE intrusion detection systems or employing fallback communication channels to maintain availability during attacks. Additionally, applying strict input validation and robust error handling in BLE stack implementations can reduce the risk of similar vulnerabilities.

Description

An issue in the Bluetooth Low Energy implementation of Cypress Bluetooth SDK v3.66 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted LL_PAUSE_ENC_REQ packet.
