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
Bluetooth ACPI Drivers provided by Dynabook Inc. contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker may execute arbitrary code by modifying certain registry values.

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

Dynabook Bluetooth ACPI drivers contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability where an attacker with the ability to modify certain registry values can trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability exists in the driver's handling of registry configuration data, which is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without proper bounds checking.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches for Dynabook Bluetooth ACPI drivers when available. Restrict write access to the relevant registry keys to minimize 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. Identify if Dynabook Bluetooth ACPI driver is installed
    Open Device Manager, expand 'Bluetooth' section, and look for Dynabook Bluetooth driver entries. Alternatively, run 'driverquery /v | findstr -i bluetooth' to list installed Bluetooth drivers.
    Affected if Dynabook Bluetooth ACPI driver is present in the system
  2. Locate the driver file and version
    Right-click the driver in Device Manager, select Properties, then the Driver tab to view the driver version and file path. The driver file is typically in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ with 'bt' or 'acpi' in the filename.
    Affected if Driver version cannot be determined or falls within an unpatched version range
  3. Identify vulnerable registry keys
    Check registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BtwUSBHci or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dynabook for Bluetooth ACPI configuration entries. Look for any registry values that control driver behavior or parameters.
    Affected if Registry keys related to Dynabook Bluetooth ACPI driver configuration exist on the system
  4. Check registry key permissions
    Right-click the identified registry key in regedit, select Permissions, and review which users or groups have Write or Full Control access. Use 'reg query' command with access control output to programmatically check permissions.
    Affected if Users other than Administrators or System have write access to the Bluetooth ACPI registry configuration keys

Affected if Dynabook Bluetooth ACPI driver is installed and the relevant registry configuration keys are present and writable by non-admin users.
