Bluetooth Bugs Open Billions of Devices to DoS, Code Execution

The BrakTooth set of security vulnerabilities impacts at least 11 vendors’ chipsets.

Researchers have disclosed a group of 16 different vulnerabilities collectively dubbed BrakTooth, which impact billions of devices that rely on Bluetooth Classic (BT) for communication.

According to an academic paper from the University of Singapore, the bugs are found in the closed commercial BT stack used by at least 1,400 embedded chip components, that can lead to a host of attack types – mainly denial of service (DoS) via firmware crashes (the term “brak” is actually Norwegian for “crash”). One of the bugs can also lead to arbitrary code execution (ACE).

The team analyzed 13 pieces of BT hardware from 11 vendors; so far, there have been 20 CVEs assigned across them; with four vulnerabilities pending CVE assignments from Intel and Qualcomm.
Some of the bugs are patched, others are in the process of being patched; but, researchers said in the paper, “it is highly probable that many other products (beyond the ≈1400 entries observed in Bluetooth listing) are affected by BrakTooth,” including BT system-on-chips (SoCs), BT modules or additional BT end products.

Potentially, billions of devices could be affected worldwide, researchers said.

Here’s a table of the 16 bugs:

POLITICO's Sam Stein, your one "job" has been downgraded to an embarassing eyeroll.
We're all laughing at you, at this point.

9. I've been castigated multiple times by the DU moderate brigade for slamming Politico here.

So it's no longer forbidden to slam Politico here because Soledad O'Brien said it...

10. Its not the 'moderate' brigade that doin the castigating.

They've been calling out Politico for a long time on their extreme blatant bias.
