By Waqas Another day, another Bluetooth vulnerability impacting billions of devices worldwide! This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Bluetooth Vulnerability Enables Keystroke Injection on Android, Linux, macOS, iOS
Bluetooth HID Hosts in BlueZ may permit an unauthenticated Peripheral role HID Device to initiate and establish an encrypted connection, and accept HID keyboard reports, potentially permitting injection of HID messages when no user interaction has occurred in the Central role to authorize such access. An example affected package is bluez 5.64-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu 22.04LTS. NOTE: in some cases, a CVE-2020-0556 mitigation would have already addressed this Bluetooth HID Hosts issue.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6540-1 - It was discovered that BlueZ did not properly restrict non-bonded devices from injecting HID events into the input subsystem. This could allow a physically proximate attacker to inject keystrokes and execute arbitrary commands whilst the device is discoverable.
A critical Bluetooth security flaw could be exploited by threat actors to take control of Android, Linux, macOS and iOS devices. Tracked as CVE-2023-45866, the issue relates to a case of authentication bypass that enables attackers to connect to susceptible devices and inject keystrokes to achieve code execution as the victim. "Multiple Bluetooth stacks have authentication bypass
In parse_gap_data of utils.cc, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local information disclosure with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
