CVE-2026-45815

A vulnerability in Apache NimBLE allows authentication bypass via spoofing. Receiving a specially crafted Security Request can lead to removal of the original bond and re-bonding with an impostor. The issue affects versions up to and including 1.8.0.

NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Apache NimBLE. Missing validation of HCI connection complete or HCI command TX buffer could lead to NULL pointer dereference. This issue requires disabled asserts and broken or bogus Bluetooth controller and thus severity is considered low.

A vulnerability in Apache NimBLE stems from improper handling of the Pause Encryption procedure at the Link Layer, causing a previously encrypted connection to remain in an unencrypted state. This allows an attacker to eavesdrop on the remainder of the exchange. The issue affects versions up to and including 1.8.0.

Improper input validation in Apache NimBLE during Mesh Proxy SAR reassembly, potentially passing broken data to the application causing memory pressure and unstable parsing. Affects versions through 1.9.0. Fixed in 1.10.0.

NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in Apache NimBLE in the LE Long Term Key Request event. Requires disabled asserts and a bogus controller, so severity is low. Affects versions through 1.9.0. Fixed in 1.10.0.

Out-of-bounds write and integer underflow vulnerability in Apache NimBLE BASS service. Improper validation when parsing "Add Source" and "Modify Source" operations can lead to stack buffer overflow or arbitrary out-of-bound read. Requires pairing and authentication. Affects versions through 1.9.0. Fixed in 1.10.0.

In Apache NimBLE, there is an incorrect calculation of buffer size when processing Legacy Advertising Report HCI events. When a single HCI event bundles multiple reports, NimBLE miscalculates the offset to the next report, potentially causing out-of-bounds reads and delivering bogus data to the application.

In Apache NimBLE, there is a classic buffer overflow vulnerability in the HCI socket transport. The system did not check whether a received HCI event would fit the configured event pool before copying it, allowing a buffer overflow.
