High CVSS 8.0

Overview

This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Alpine Halo9 devices. An attacker must first obtain the ability to pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the PBAP_DecodeVCARD function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root.

Risk analysis

This vulnerability is rated 🟠 HIGH.

  • CVSS: 8.0 (HIGH)
  • Detected tags: rce (tag impact: VERY HIGH)

Recommended actions:

  • Patch/upgrade immediately (remote code execution).
  • Reduce exposure (WAF/segmentation), minimize attack surface.
