Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.42% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Google Inc. Android and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Why

The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

How

An attacker operating through the affected interface may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
the affected interface → Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor → obtain information outside the intended access boundary
Attack surface
Unspecified
Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
User interaction
None
Attack complexity
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-200 ↗

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Canadian Centre for Cyber Security · English · AL17-011Bluetooth Critical Vulnerabilities

CCIRC has become aware of multiple critical vulnerabilities in the implementation of the Bluetooth stack in multiple versions of Android, Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows and Linux based products, among others. The vulnerabilities could allow for a malicious threat actor to execute code, intercept wireless communications, abuse device functionality and/or perform man-in-the-middle attacks. While no known active exploitation has been reported, a working proof of concept is available. Open source reporting describing the vulnerabilities suggests that exploitation does not require the targeted device to be set on discoverable mode or paired to the threat actor's device; furthermore, authorization is not required by the end user nor does it require authentication for the connection to be made. CCIRC recommends information security teams to monitor for future vendor supplied updates and apply relevant security patches as they become available. Below is a list of the potentially affected products and their relevant versions: Android Android phones, tablets, and wearables of all versions are affected by the four following vulnerabilities: CVE-2017-0781: Android Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2017-0782: Android Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2017-0783: Android Potential Man in the Middle Attack CVE-2017-0785: Android Bluetooth Information Leak Vulnerability Android devices using Bluetooth Low Energy only are not affected. The vulnerabilities affecting Marshmallow (6.0) and Nougat (7.0) Android devices were addressed in Google's Android Security Bulletin released September 12th, 2017. Apple The following vulnerability affecting iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices with iOS 7 through 9 and Apple TV devices with version 7.2.2 and lower: CVE-2017-14315: Apple Low Energy Audio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability The vulnerability affecting Apple devices has been resolved in iOS 10, released in September 2016. Microsoft Windows versions 10, 8.1, 7, Server 2016 and Server 2008 are affected by the following vulnerability: CVE-2017-8628: Microsoft Bluetooth Driver Spoofing Vulnerability The vulnerability affecting Microsoft devices has been resolved by a security update released September 12, 2017. Linux Linux devices running BlueZ 5.46 and earlier are affected by: CVE-2017-1000250: Linux Bluetooth Information Leak Vulnerability The vulnerability affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 6 devices has been resolved by a security update released by Red Hat on September 12, 2017. Linux kernel versions 3.3-rc1 and up to and including 4.13.1 are affected by the following: CVE-2017-1000251: Linux Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is not affected. The vulnerability affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 6 and MRG 2 devices has been resolved by a security update released by Red Hat on September 12, 2017.
