Routine

MEDIUM 6.5UPGRADE

CVE-2019-17060 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) affecting mcuxpresso software development kit. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stack implementation on the NXP KW41Z (based on the MCUXpresso SDK with Bluetooth Low Energy Driver 2.2.1 and earlier) does not properly restrict the BLE Link Layer header and executes certain memory contents upon receiving a packet with a Link Layer ID (LLID) equal to zero. This allows attackers within radio range to cause deadlocks, cause anomalous behavior in the BLE state machine, or trigger a buffer overflow vi

Why this priority

No elevated risk signals yet

A fixed release or distro patch exists.
