CWE-327  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 kernel-headers to version 0:4.18.0-147.el8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:3517.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation. This allows practical brute-force attacks (aka "KNOB") that can decrypt traffic and inject arbitrary ciphertext without the victim noticing.
