CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Sony XAV-9500ES devices are vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow due to improper validation of Bluetooth L2CAP packet lengths, allowing network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target system, potentially leading to unauthorized control over the device. Organizations using these devices should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate the risk of remote code execution.

Original NVD Description

Sony XAV-9500ES l2_reassemble_sdu Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Sony XAV-9500ES 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 handling of Bluetooth L2CAP packets. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the device. Was ZDI-CAN-29072.
