CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2021-34146 — Cypress Cyw920735Q60Evb-01 Firmware security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.5

The Bluetooth Classic implementation in the Cypress CYW920735Q60EVB does not properly handle the reception of continuous unsolicited LMP responses, allowing attackers in radio range to trigger a denial of service and restart (crash) of the device by flooding it with LMP_AU_Rand packets after the paging procedure.

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.
