CVE-2023-24023 - BLUFFS: Bluetooth Forward and Future Secrecy Attacks and Defenses

Description: CVE-2023-24023, known as BLUFFS, identifies vulnerabilities in Bluetooth's cryptographic procedures that can potentially allow attackers to compromise the forward and future secrecy of Bluetooth communications.

These attacks exploit weaknesses in the pairing process, enabling unauthorized access to previously encrypted data and potentially decrypting future communications.

Impact: If successfully exploited, an attacker could intercept, decrypt, and manipulate Bluetooth communications, leading to data breaches, unauthorized access to Bluetooth-enabled devices, and potential privacy violations.

Mitigation: To mitigate the risks associated with BLUFFS, ensuring Bluetooth devices have up-to-date firmware, implementing stronger encryption protocols, and adhering to best security practices in Bluetooth environments are recommended.
