CVE-2021-34144Public exploit

Bluetooth connection deadlock via truncated SCO request

Published Sep 7, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Denial of service in Zhuhai Jieli AC6366C BT SDK 0.9.1 and earlier allows physically proximate attackers to block new Bluetooth connections. The Bluetooth Classic link manager accepts an LMP_SCO_Link_Request with ACL length 2 instead of 7 and disables inquiry and page scanning. The attack requires radio range and no active Bluetooth connection; recovery requires a manual power cycle, with no reported data exposure or modification.
