CVE-2019-17518 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) affecting 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 implementation on Dialog Semiconductor SDK through 1.0.14.1081 for DA1468x devices responds to link layer packets with a payload length larger than expected, allowing attackers in radio range to cause a buffer overflow via a crafted packet. This affects, for example, August Smart Lock.
Why this priority
- No elevated risk signals yet
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
