Summary
Alpine iLX-F511 devices from version 7.0.000 contain a heap-based buffer overflow in Bluetooth OBEX packet handling. The code does not validate the length of user-supplied data before copying it to a heap buffer (CWE-122). A physically present attacker can execute arbitrary code as root without authentication.

Description from the CNA
Alpine iLX-F511 Bluetooth OBEX Packet Handling Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Alpine iLX-F511 devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of Bluetooth OBEX packets. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29012.
