DescriptionCVE.org

An unencrypted 'pause encryption request' message causes a denial of service in the BT122 module. See vulnerability B-E10 in the related paper below.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in the Silicon Labs BT122 Bluetooth module is triggered by an adjacent unauthenticated attacker who transmits a forged, unencrypted 'pause encryption request' control message, causing the module to crash or become unresponsive. The flaw, cataloged as vulnerability B-E10 in academic research (arXiv:2409.02905), exploits the module's failure to enforce encryption state validation on incoming link-layer control messages. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be within Bluetooth Classic radio range of the target device - typically 10 to 100 meters depending on antenna class. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H) signals a low-complexity, unauthenticated attack confined to Bluetooth radio adjacency (typically 10-100 meters), with no confidentiality or integrity impact - purely a high-severity availability concern. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker within Bluetooth radio range (approximately 10-100 meters) of a device incorporating the BT122 module crafts and transmits a raw, unencrypted 'pause encryption request' Bluetooth Classic link management message. The BT122 module, failing to validate that such a request should only arrive within an encrypted session, processes the message and enters an unexpected state, causing the module - and any dependent device functionality - to become unresponsive. …
Remediation No patch version has been confirmed in the available data; the vendor advisory at https://community.silabs.com/068Vm00000x0Yqy should be consulted for current fix availability and firmware update instructions. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all devices and products in your infrastructure using Silicon Labs BT122 modules, including IoT devices, wireless peripherals, and industrial equipment, and document their business criticality. …
