Durante el procesamiento de paquetes HCI, el software determina din\u00e1micamente la longitud del encabezado del paquete buscando el primer byte de identificaci\u00f3n y compar\u00e1ndolo con una tabla de longitudes posibles. La funci\u00f3n de an\u00e1lisis inicial, hciTrSerialRxIncoming, no descarta los paquetes con identificadores no v\u00e1lidos, pero tampoco establece un valor predeterminado seguro para la longitud de los encabezados de los paquetes desconocidos, lo que provoca un desbordamiento del b\u00fafer. Un atacante puede aprovechar esto para realizar una escritura arbitraria. Es posible sobrescribir el puntero a un b\u00fafer a\u00fan no asignado que se supone que debe recibir el contenido del cuerpo del paquete. Luego, se puede sobrescribir la variable de estado utilizada por la funci\u00f3n para determinar qu\u00e9 estado del an\u00e1lisis del paquete se est\u00e1 produciendo actualmente. Debido a que el b\u00fafer se asigna cuando se ha copiado el \u00faltimo byte del encabezado, la combinaci\u00f3n de tener una variable de longitud de encabezado incorrecta que nunca coincidir\u00e1 con la variable de contador y poder sobrescribir la variable de estado con el desbordamiento de b\u00fafer resultante se puede utilizar para avanzar la funci\u00f3n al siguiente paso mientras se omite la asignaci\u00f3n de b\u00fafer y la escritura del puntero resultante.
