Doc Text:
An impersonation attack vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s Bluetooth Mesh Profile implementation. The Mesh Provisioning procedure has a flaw that allows an attacker without knowledge of the AuthValue to spoof a provisioned device and use crafted responses that appear to possess the AuthValue. This issue permits an attacker to be issued a valid NetKey and potentially an AppKey. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-05-12 18:58:02 UTC
The Bluetooth Mesh Profile Specification versions 1.0 and 1.0.1 Mesh Provisioning procedure could allow an attacker without knowledge of the AuthValue, spoofing a device being provisioned, to use crafted responses to appear to possess the AuthValue and be issued a valid NetKey and potentially an AppKey. For this attack to be successful, an attacking device needs to be within wireless range of a Mesh Provisioner and either spoof the identity of a device being provisioned over the air or be directly provisioned onto a subnet controlled by the provisioner. After successfully authenticating without the AuthValue, the attacker can perform any operation permitted to a node provisioned on the subnet until it is either denied access or a new subnet is formed without the attacking node present.
