Technical Analysis
This vulnerability in BlueZ's btmon tool arises from improper handling of HCI Return Link Keys events in btsnoop capture files. A crafted capture file specifying more link keys than the actual packet data causes an out-of-bounds read, leading to a crash of the btmon process. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5, reflecting a local attack vector with low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction needed, unchanged scope, no confidentiality or integrity impact, and high availability impact.
Potential Impact
