  - An issue was discovered in bluetoothd in BlueZ through 5.48. The vulnerability lies in the handling of a
    SVC_ATTR_REQ by the SDP implementation. By crafting a malicious CSTATE, it is possible to trick the server
    into returning more bytes than the buffer actually holds, resulting in leaking arbitrary heap data. The
    root cause can be found in the function service_attr_req of sdpd-request.c. The server does not check
    whether the CSTATE data is the same in consecutive requests, and instead simply trusts that it is the
    same. (CVE-2019-8921)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
