sudo apt install bluez-obexd=5.68-0ubuntu1 bluez=5.68-0ubuntu1 sudo apt-mark hold bluez bluez-obexd I think that this undoes a security update (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/5.68-0ubuntu1.1) for this CVE (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-45866), but if you care more about your controller working than you do the possibility of someone injecting keystrokes while your computer is in "discoverable" mode then it seems like a fair trade-off. ** CVE added: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2023-45866 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2046084 Title: [Regression] HID gamepad stopped working in 5.68-0ubuntu1.1 Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, I updated from 5.68-0ubuntu1 to 5.68-0ubuntu1.1 and my bluetooth gamepad (8bitdo Pro 2) stopped working. It no longer was detected by various emulator software or by jstest-gtk. It stopped showing up in /dev/input/ as well. Here are the logs that I get on connection with the broken (new) version: Dec 10 13:12:23 laptop bluetoothd[6317]: src/profile.c:record_cb() Unable to get Hands-Free Voice gateway SDP record: Host is down Dec 10 13:12:43 laptop bluetoothd[6317]: profiles/input/device.c:ioctl_is_connected() Can't get HIDP connection info Dec 10 13:12:45 laptop bluetoothd[6317]: profiles/input/device.c:hidp_add_connection() Rejected connection from !bonded device E4:17:DE:AD:BE:EF Here are the logs that I get on connection with the old (working) version: Dec 10 13:37:17 laptop bluetoothd[7736]: src/profile.c:record_cb() Unable to get Hands-Free Voice gateway SDP record: Host is down Dec 10 13:38:30 laptop bluetoothd[7736]: profiles/input/device.c:ioctl_is_connected() Can't get HIDP connection info I think that the indicator of issues (or at least a red herring) is the "Rejected connection from !bonded device" line in the broken output. I've redacted my MAC address obviously. I think that two packages are involved with this and I am not quite sure where exactly the bug lives. I think that both the "bluez" and "bluez-obexd" packages are involved. If I mix the versions between these two, I get various different behaviors: bluez-obexd 1.1 and bluez 1.1 = broken behavior bluez-obexd 1 and bluez 1.1 = broken behavior bluez-obexd 1 and bluez 1 = working behavior bluez-obexd 1.1 and bluez 1 = unable to connect bluetooth device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/2046084/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
