• The vulnerabilities impact all devices with Bluetooth 4.2 through Bluetooth 5.4, including laptops, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and others.

• Users can do nothing at the moment to fix the vulnerabilities, and the solution requires device manufacturers to make changes to the security mechanisms used by the technology.
