If you cannot patch yet, avoid accepting A2DP source connections that negotiate LC3plus sessions or disable LC3plus support if possible to mitigate the risk.

Description

BlueALSA's bluez-alsa/bluealsad component contains a division-by-zero vulnerability in the LC3plus sink decoder. This flaw allows a Bluetooth-adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a crafted RTP media header with a zero frame count. The vulnerability triggers a crash in the decoding thread, affecting builds compiled with LC3plus support enabled.
