CVE-2019-19193 — Ti Ble-Stack security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.5

The Bluetooth Low Energy peripheral implementation on Texas Instruments SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK through 3.30.00.20 and BLE-STACK through 1.5.0 before Q4 2019 for CC2640R2 and CC2540/1 devices does not properly restrict the advertisement connection request packet on reception, allowing attackers in radio range to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted packet.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
