NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bluez-obexd package and not the bluez-obexd package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Bluetooth HID Hosts in BlueZ may permit an unauthenticated Peripheral role HID Device to initiate and establish an encrypted connection, and accept HID keyboard reports, potentially permitting injection of HID messages when no user interaction has occurred in the Central role to authorize such access. An example affected package is bluez 5.64-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu 22.04LTS. NOTE: in some cases, a CVE-2020-0556 mitigation would have already addressed this Bluetooth HID Hosts issue.
