To determine if your product is impacted, check the version of the TI BLE stack version built into your product. This can be done by looking at the documentation included with SDK. Bluetooth LE products using only the peripheral role can be affected by this advisory during secure pairing process.
When out of order packets are sent during Bluetooth LE secure pairing, the affected devices can be put in a state which results in the halting of any attempts to pair with other central devices. This state can lead to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that can be recovered by resetting the device. This behavior was noticed with the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: Checks not performed on out of turn packets with pre-set value
During Bluetooth LE secure pairing, if the central sends DHkeyCheckSend message before sending MackKey, Na and Nb, the peripheral will respond with DHkeyCheckSend even though MackKey, Na and Nb are set to zero. During normal operation, MackKey, Na and Nb must be sent before DHkeyCheckSend.
Scenario 2: Bluetooth LE peripheral responds to out of turn packet before authentication
During Bluetooth LE secure pairing, a peripheral can respond out of turn to PairRandomSend message before PublicKeySend packet is received.
Scenario 3:Bluetooth LE peripheral responds to out of turn packet with incorrect value
During Bluetooth LE secure pairing, a peripheral can respond to PairConfirmSend request from a central with wrong confirm values set for PairReq with secure connection flag or OOB flag turned on. In this scenario, the PairConfirmSend packet is sent before PublicKeySend packet is received.
The following SDK releases addresses the potential vulnerability. Customers can upgrade to the latest SDK version to avoid this vulnerability.
