Recent Bluez Security Vulnerabilities
A heap overflow vulnerability was found in bluez in versions prior to 5.63
CVE-2022-0204
8.8 - High
- March 10, 2022
A heap overflow vulnerability was found in bluez in versions prior to 5.63. An attacker with local network access could pass specially crafted files causing an application to halt or crash, leading to a denial of service.
Memory Corruption
bluetoothd from bluez incorrectly saves adapters' Discoverable status when a device is powered down, and restores it when powered up
CVE-2021-3658
6.5 - Medium
- March 02, 2022
bluetoothd from bluez incorrectly saves adapters' Discoverable status when a device is powered down, and restores it when powered up. If a device is powered down while discoverable, it will be discoverable when powered on again. This could lead to inadvertent exposure of the bluetooth stack to physically nearby attackers.
AuthZ
BlueZ is a Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux
CVE-2021-41229
6.5 - Medium
- November 12, 2021
BlueZ is a Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux. In affected versions a vulnerability exists in sdp_cstate_alloc_buf which 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.
Memory Leak

CVE-2021-3588
3.3 - Low
- June 10, 2021
The cli_feat_read_cb() function in src/gatt-database.c does not perform bounds checks on the 'offset' variable before using it as an index into an array for reading.

CVE-2020-27153
8.6 - High
- October 15, 2020
In BlueZ before 5.55, a double free was found in the gatttool disconnect_cb() routine from shared/att.c. A remote attacker could potentially cause a denial of service or code execution, during service discovery, due to a redundant disconnect MGMT event.

CVE-2020-0556
7.1 - High
- March 12, 2020
Improper access control in subsystem for BlueZ before version 5.54 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege and denial of service via adjacent access
