Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2020-27153.

More information:

It was discovered that there was a double-free vulnerability in BlueZ, a suite of Bluetooth tools, utilities and daemons.

• CVE-2020-27153

  In BlueZ before 5.55, a double free was found in the gatttool disconnect_cb() routine from shared/att.c. A remote attacker could potentially cause a denial of service or code execution, during service discovery, due to a redundant disconnect MGMT event.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 5.43-2+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your bluez packages.
