NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firmware-nonfree package and not the firmware-nonfree package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Bluetooth firmware or operating system software drivers in macOS versions before 10.13, High Sierra and iOS versions before 11.4, and Android versions before the 2018-06-05 patch may not sufficiently validate elliptic curve parameters used to generate public keys during a Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which may allow a remote attacker to obtain the encryption key used by the device.
