Citrix: Blueborne: Protect Endpoints from Bluetooth Vulnerabilities with XenMobile

October 23, 2017

Citrix Systems 0

On Sept. 12, Armis labs disclosed that they have identified 8 new vulnerabilities in Bluetooth potentially exposing any Bluetooth-enabled device including Android, Windows, Linux, iOS, and various IoT devices to attack. These attacks could range from remotely switching on cameras for pictures and videos, turning on microphones, to stealing credentials by MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) attacks, etc.

More than 8 billion Bluetooth-enabled devices are at risk. This pretty much includes every “smart” device: from your smartphone, smart watch, smart TV to connected home. The scary part is that an attack does not require any user interaction; if your Bluetooth is switched on, you are a potential victim of eavesdropping and identity theft.

This Bluetooth vulnerability can potentially allow hackers to do one or more of the following depending on the platform, OS version, etc.:

Take full control of the device remotely
Route all traffic through a malicious proxy by reconfiguring IP routing
Leak Bluetooth encryption keys
Memory corruption
Remote code execution
