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 multiple functions of sdp_server.cc, there is a possible use after free due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to remote (proximal/adjacent) 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 · moderate confidence

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in multiple functions of sdp_server.cc, a Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol server component. Due to a logic error in memory management, a pointer to freed memory is accessed after deallocation, potentially allowing an attacker in proximal/adjacent network range to achieve remote code execution without requiring elevated privileges or user interaction.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided patch for CVE-2025-22412 to fix the memory management logic in the affected sdp_server.cc functions. If no patch is available, consider network segmentation to limit proximal/adjacent attack surface.

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. Confirm Android OS version
    Run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' or check Settings > About Phone > Android version
    Affected if The version is exactly 15.0 (not 15.0.1, 14.x, 16.x, etc.)
  2. Verify Bluetooth is enabled
    Check if Bluetooth adapter is powered on via 'settings list global bluetooth_enabled' or in system settings
    Affected if Bluetooth is enabled and the device is discoverable or connected to other Bluetooth devices
  3. Confirm SDP server component presence
    Check for bluetooth.sdp service running: 'dumpsys bluetooth_manager' or review system logs for sdp_server activity
    Affected if The Bluetooth stack with SDP server component is active on the device
  4. Assess network proximity exposure
    Review if device is in discoverable/connectable mode or paired with nearby devices in untrusted environments
    Affected if The device accepts Bluetooth connections from proximal/adjacent attackers without additional authentication

The device is affected only if it is running Android version 15.0 exactly and has Bluetooth enabled with the SDP server accessible to proximal attackers.
