Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In process_service_search_attr_req of sdp_server.cc, there is a possible way to execute arbitrary code due to a use after free. This could lead to remote code execution with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the process_service_search_attr_req function of sdp_server.cc in the Bluetooth SDP (Service Discovery Protocol) server. An attacker can trigger this memory corruption flaw to achieve remote code execution without requiring any user interaction or elevated privileges.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided security patch for the affected Bluetooth stack implementation. If no patch is available, restrict Bluetooth accessibility via network filtering or disable Bluetooth on vulnerable systems until a fix is available.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Android version
    Go to Settings > About Phone > Android version, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADB shell
    Affected if Version is exactly 15.0 (not 15.0.1 or higher)
  2. Verify Bluetooth is enabled
    Check Settings > Bluetooth > On/Off toggle, or run 'settings get global bluetooth_on' via ADB shell
    Affected if Bluetooth is turned ON (the SDP server is active when Bluetooth is enabled)
  3. Confirm Bluetooth SDP service is running
    Run 'dumpsys bluetooth_manager' or check for 'sdp-server' in process list via ADB shell
    Affected if The SDP service is active (running when Bluetooth is enabled on Android)
  4. Check if device is in discoverable mode
    Check Settings > Bluetooth > Device name visibility, or run 'getprop bluetooth.sdpscan' via ADB shell
    Affected if Device is discoverable or has SDP scanning enabled, increasing exposure to remote attackers

A device is affected if it runs Android version 15.0 (exact) and has Bluetooth enabled, as the vulnerable SDP server code is active whenever Bluetooth is on.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply the vendor-provided security patch for the affected Bluetooth stack implementation. If no patch is available, restrict Bluetooth accessibility via network filtering or disable Bluetooth on vulnerable systems until a fix is available.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest Android 15 security patch level (February 2025 Android Security Bulletin or later)

  1. Check for system updates on the Android 15.0 device and install the latest available Android security patch level.
  2. Verify the installed Android security patch level meets or exceeds the level that addresses CVE-2025-0075 (typically the February 2025 Android Security Bulletin or later).
  3. If the device manufacturer has not released an update containing the fix, consider using a device that receives timely security updates.
Caveat Security updates are cumulative; applying the latest patch should not introduce breaking changes but may vary by device manufacturer
