CVE-2021-28136
Last modified
CVE-2021-28136 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Bluetooth Classic implementation in Espressif ESP-IDF 4.4 and earlier does not properly handle the reception of multiple LMP IO Capability Request packets during the pairing process, allowing attackers in radio range to trigger memory corruption (and consequently a crash) in ESP32 via a replayed (duplicated) LMP packet.. EPSS estimates a 0.81% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
