CVE-2024-8798
Zephyrproject
CVE-2024-8798 is a vulnerability in Zephyr's Bluetooth Object Transfer Service (OTS) client, specifically within the olcp_ind_handler function. It stems from a lack of proper validation of user input length. This could lead to potential exploits due to improper handling of excessively long inputs.
CVE-2024-8798 relates to insufficient input sanitization within the Zephyr Bluetooth subsystem. The insufficient validation in the olcp_ind_handler
function of zephyr/subsys/bluetooth/services/ots/ots_client.c
can cause unexpected behavior. With an SVRS of 30, this vulnerability is not considered critical, though patching is still recommended for robust security practices. The risk associated with this CVE includes potential denial-of-service or other unexpected behavior. While not immediately critical, it's important to address this input validation flaw to maintain the stability and security of systems using the Zephyr Bluetooth stack.
