Published Dec 17, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 8.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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).
