Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the l2cap_handle_data() function within the BES2300 Bluetooth audio SoC firmware version 3.x and earlier. It is triggered by receiving a malformed L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol) packet over a Bluetooth connection. An attacker within Bluetooth range can send the crafted packet without requiring prior authentication or pairing. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service condition, causing the audio device to hang or reset. The vulnerability is classified as a memory handling or input validation flaw in the L2CAP packet processing logic.
