Bluetooth deadlock via invalid LMP setup sequence
Published Sep 7, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Denial of service in Zhuhai Jieli AC690X and AC692X Bluetooth Classic firmware allows physically proximate attackers to deadlock devices. The link manager processes a duplicated LMP_setup_complete followed by an LMP_features_req_ext carrying invalid opcode 0x64 instead of rejecting the sequence. No pairing or authentication is required; on single-connection products, the attack is reachable only while no user device is connected, and recovery requires a manual reboot.
