Alpine iLX-507 vCard Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability allowing remote code execution has been identified in the Alpine iLX-507 device. This issue arises from improper validation of user-supplied vCard data, which can be exploited by network-adjacent attackers. The vulnerability requires user interaction, as the target device must connect to a malicious Bluetooth device. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution with root privileges.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized arbitrary code execution on the affected device, with the executed code running in the context of the root user.

Remediation

Due to the nature of this vulnerability, the recommended mitigation strategy is to limit interactions with the affected product.
