Description:
KF has reported a vulnerability in Anycom Blue Stereo Headset BSH-100, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service), disclose sensitive information, and manipulate certain data.
The problem is that it is possible to pair the device even when it is not in pairing mode via a RFCOMM connection. This can be exploited to control the headset (e.g. monitor the microphone and inject audio into the ear piece) using the "Car Whisperer" utility through a wireless Bluetooth connection.
This can also be exploited to terminate an active connection to the headset.
Solution:
Use another product.
