A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. The kernel failed to request user confirmation during Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR) pairing using the Just Works method, preventing user-space Bluetooth services from enforcing pairing policies. An unauthenticated attacker within Bluetooth range could exploit this issue to pair with the host device without user approval or notification.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: Align BR/EDR JUST_WORKS paring with LE
This aligned BR/EDR JUST_WORKS method with LE which since 92516cd97fd4
("Bluetooth: Always request for user confirmation for Just Works")
always request user confirmation with confirm_hint set since the
likes of bluetoothd have dedicated policy around JUST_WORKS method
(e.g. main.conf:JustWorksRepairing).
CVE: CVE-2024-8805
