## Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-122) exists within the Windows Bluetooth Service. The flaw is triggered when the service improperly handles memory allocation for Bluetooth-related data structures. An attacker with low-privileged local access can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests to the service, leading to arbitrary code execution with elevated system privileges. Microsoft has released security updates to address this issue across affected versions of Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server.
