Use the established MITM state when\nstoring the responder STK so the key metadata matches the pairing result.\n\nThis also keeps the legacy path aligned with the Secure Connections code,\nwhich already treats JUST_WORKS/JUST_CFM as unauthenticated."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":8.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"}}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/bluetooth/smp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"9a38659a3d06080715691bd3139f9c4b61f688e3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"667f44f1392df6482483756458c48670e579e9ff","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"929db734d12db41ca5f95424db4612397f1bd4a7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"b1c6a8e554a39b222c0879a288ea98e338fc4d77","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"0afc846bd80073ffcd2b8040f2b2fafaea3d9f72","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"061ee71ac6b03c9f8432fe49538c3682bfcf4cf3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"9a6d0db176f082685e0b6149700c0baf3ce2aa8b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"fff3490f47810e2d34b91fb9e31103e923b11c2f","lessThan":"20756fec2f0108cb88e815941f1ffff88dc286fe","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"14ec593d6bb050cf40a4ade2f9ac9ca050e0412c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/bluetooth/smp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"3.16","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"3.16","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.253","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.203","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.168","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.134","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.81","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.22","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.12","lessThanOrEqual":"6.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.253"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.203"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.168"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.134"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.81"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.22"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.19.12"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"7.0"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.15.5"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a38659a3d06080715691bd3139f9c4b61f688e3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/667f44f1392df6482483756458c48670e579e9ff"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/929db734d12db41ca5f95424db4612397f1bd4a7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b1c6a8e554a39b222c0879a288ea98e338fc4d77"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0afc846bd80073ffcd2b8040f2b2fafaea3d9f72"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/061ee71ac6b03c9f8432fe49538c3682bfcf4cf3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a6d0db176f082685e0b6149700c0baf3ce2aa8b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/20756fec2f0108cb88e815941f1ffff88dc286fe"}],"title":"Bluetooth:
