In bta_dm_remove_sec_dev_entry of bta_dm_act.cc, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a use after free. This could lead to remote information disclosure over bluetooth with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
