  "details" : [ "Mesh Provisioning in the Bluetooth Mesh profile 1.0 and 1.0.1 may permit a nearby device, able to conduct a successful brute-force attack on an insufficiently random AuthValue before the provisioning procedure times out, to complete authentication by leveraging Malleable Commitment.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s authentication protocol in the Bluetooth® Mesh Profile Specification. A vulnerability occurs if the AuthValue is identified during the provisioning procedure, even if the AuthValue is selected randomly. This flaw allows an attacker to identify the AuthValue used before the provisioning procedure times out, possibly completing the provisioning operation and obtaining a NetKey. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability." ],
