Bluetooth SIG Bluetooth Protocol Device Pairing Process Vulnerability

The BlueTooth protocol is prone to a vulnerability that exists in the device pairing process. The issue manifests due to a flaw in the device pairing process that allows a malicious third party device to force device pairing in order to determine a valid link key and in turn launch attacks designed to crack a target PIN (Personal Identification Number).

An attacker may force device re-pairing in order to derive sensitive information in regards to a target connection.
