Attack scenario: 1. A Chromebook (let's call this device A) is paired to a legitimate Bluetooth classic device (e.g. a speaker) (let's call this device B). 2. A malicious device (let's call this device C) pretends to be the Bluetooth speaker by using the same BT address. 3. If device A is not currently connected to device B, device A will be ready to accept connection from device B in the background (technically, doing Page Scan). 4. Therefore, device C can initiate connection to device A (because device A is doing Page Scan) and device A will accept the connection because device A trusts device C's address which is the same as device B's address. 5. Device C won't be able to communicate at any high level Bluetooth profile with device A because device A enforces that device C is encrypted with their common Link Key, which device C doesn't have. But device C can initiate pairing with device A with just-works model without requiring user interaction (there is only pairing notification). After pairing, device A now trusts device C with a new different link key, common between device A and C. 6. From now on, device A trusts device C, so device C can at anytime connect to device A to do any kind of high-level hijacking, e.g. speaker hijack or mouse/keyboard hijack. Since we don't know whether the repairing is legitimate or not, leave the decision to user space if all the conditions below are met. - the pairing is initialized by peer - the authorization method is just-work - host already had the link key to the peer Signed-off-by: Howard Chung <howardchung@google.com> Acked-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
