CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Apache NimBLE due to inadequate size checks on received HCI events, potentially leading to memory corruption. Exploitation requires either a misconfigured event pool size or a compromised controller, limiting the risk primarily to specific configurations. Organizations using affected versions of Apache NimBLE should prioritize upgrading to version 1.10.0 to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in Apache NimBLE. The HCI socket transport did not check whether a received HCI event would fit the configured event pool before copying it, allowing a buffer overflow. Severity is low: exploitation requires either a misconfigured pool size or a malicious/compromised controller on the other end of the HCI socket link, not over-the-air Bluetooth access. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.9.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes the issue.
