What is CVE-2023-28909?

A flaw in the Bluetooth stack of Volkswagen's MIB3 infotainment unit arises from inadequate validation of user-supplied data. This weakness can lead to integer overflow when fragmented HCI packets are received on a channel, enabling attackers to bypass MTU checks where fragmentation is enabled. Exploiting this vulnerability could result in a buffer overflow on upper layer profiles, thereby permitting remote code execution. Affected systems include various OEM part numbers, notably the Skoda Superb III unit with part number 3V0035820, raising significant cybersecurity concerns.
