NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bluez package and not the bluez package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In BlueZ 5.42, a buffer overflow was observed in "pin_code_reply_dump" function in "tools/parser/hci.c" source file. The issue exists because "pin" array is overflowed by supplied parameter due to lack of boundary checks on size of the buffer from frame "pin_code_reply_cp *cp" parameter.
