CVE-2025-48539 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Android Bluetooth stack's SendPacketToPeer function in acl_arbiter.cc. The memory-lifetime error can cause an out-of-bounds read and may permit remote code execution by an attacker located in proximal or adjacent range, without requiring user interaction or additional execution privileges.
