A vulnerability in the system Bluetooth allows hackers to access data shared between devices that use the technology, according to the US Department of Computer Security (NSA).
According to this entity, all devices that use Bluetooth need to be updated. THE Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, after the Intel has issued an update on a vulnerability related to the Bluetooth drivers of its brand, has released an update to combat the security breach.
A vulnerability in Bluetooth (R) pairing potentially allows an attacker with physical proximity (within 30 meters) to gain unauthorized access through an adjacent network, intercept traffic, and send false pairing messages between two vulnerable Bluetooth (R) devices. This may result in disclosure of information, elevation of privilege and / or denial of service, Intel reports.
Other manufacturers such as Google and Qualcomm are also already providing security updates to address this flaw. However, according to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the impact of the vulnerability must be small, since access via this path needs to be done with physical proximity between both devices to which you want to connect.
