Debian Bug : 998626 1000262 1003712

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BlueZ, the Linux Bluetooth
protocol stack. An attacker could cause a denial-of-service (DoS) or
leak information.

CVE-2019-8921

SDP infoleak, the vulnerability lies in the handling of a
SVC_ATTR_REQ by the SDP implementation of BlueZ. By crafting a
malicious CSTATE, it is possible to trick the server into
returning more bytes than the buffer actually holds, resulting in
leaking arbitrary heap data.

CVE-2019-8922

SDP Heap Overflow; this vulnerability lies in the SDP protocol
handling of attribute requests as well. By requesting a huge
number of attributes at the same time, an attacker can overflow
the static buffer provided to hold the response.

CVE-2021-41229

sdp_cstate_alloc_buf allocates memory which will always be hung in
the singly linked list of cstates and will not be freed. This will
cause a memory leak over time. The data can be a very large
object, which can be caused by an attacker continuously sending
sdp packets and this may cause the service of the target device to
crash.

CVE-2021-43400

A use-after-free in gatt-database.c can occur when a client
disconnects during D-Bus processing of a WriteValue call.

CVE-2022-0204

A heap overflow vulnerability was found in bluez. An attacker with
local network access could pass specially crafted files causing an
application to halt or crash, leading to a denial of service.

CVE-2022-39176

BlueZ allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive
information because profiles/audio/avrcp.c does not validate
params_len.

CVE-2022-39177

BlueZ allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of
service because malformed and invalid capabilities can be
processed in profiles/audio/avdtp.c.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
5.50-1.2~deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your bluez packages.
