CVE-2021-41229 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:16.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bluez package and not the bluez package as distributed by Ubuntu.
BlueZ is a Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux. In affected versions a vulnerability exists in sdp_cstate_alloc_buf which allocates memory which will always be hung in the singly linked list of cstates and will not be freed. This will cause a memory leak over time. The data can be a very large object, which can be caused by an attacker continuously sending sdp packets and this may cause the service of the target device to crash.
