Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

A serious vulnerability bearing the identifier CVE-2025-35003 has been identified in the Apache NuttX RTOS Bluetooth Stack. This vulnerability, which primarily affects versions 7.25 through 12.8.0, is of particular concern due to its high severity rating and the potential for system compromise or data leakage. As a result of this vulnerability, attackers could potentially cause a system crash, denial of service, or even execute arbitrary code<\/a> after sending maliciously crafted packets.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-35003
\nSeverity: Critical (CVSS: 9.8)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System crash, Denial of service, Arbitrary code execution<\/a><\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Apache NuttX RTOS<\/a> Bluetooth Stack (HCI and UART components) | 7.25 – 12.8.0<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit works by taking advantage of the Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer and Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerabilities<\/a> in the Apache NuttX RTOS Bluetooth Stack. By sending maliciously crafted packets to the targeted system, an attacker can trigger these vulnerabilities, causing the system to either crash, suffer a denial of service<\/a>, or even execute arbitrary code.<\/p>\n
