Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write in the bt_mesh_sol_recv function when parsing solicitation PDUs from raw BLE advertising payloads. An attacker can cause memory corruption or execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted non-connectable advertisement with a manipulated length byte, exploiting improper validation of the length field. This is only exploitable if CONFIG_BT_MESH_OD_PRIV_PROXY_SRV is enabled.
