CVE-2026-45811
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
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.

"value": "Vulnerabilidad de copia de búfer sin verificar el tamaño de la entrada (’Desbordamiento de búfer clásico’) en Apache NimBLE.\nEl transporte de socket HCI no verificaba si un evento HCI recibido cabría en el grupo de eventos configurado antes de copiarlo, permitiendo un desbordamiento de búfer. La severidad es baja: la explotación requiere un tamaño de grupo mal configurado o un controlador malicioso/comprometido en el otro extremo del enlace de socket HCI, no acceso Bluetooth por aire.\n\nEste problema afecta a Apache NimBLE: hasta la versión 1.9.0.\n\nSe recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 1.10.0, que soluciona el problema."
