NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bluez package and not the bluez package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

A bug in Bluez may allow for the Bluetooth Discoverable state being set to on when no Bluetooth agent is registered with the system. This situation could lead to the unauthorized pairing of certain Bluetooth devices without any form of authentication. Versions before bluez 5.51 are vulnerable.
