Descriptions

Improper buffer restrictions in BlueZ may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access. This affects all Linux kernel versions that support BlueZ.

Unas restricciones de búfer inapropiadas en BlueZ pueden permitir a un usuario no autenticado habilitar potencialmente la denegación de servicio por medio de un acceso adyacente. Esto afecta a todas las versiones del kernel de Linux que admiten BlueZ

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s Bluetooth implementation processed extended advertising report events. This flaw allows a remote attacker in an adjacent range to crash the system, causing a denial of service or to potentially execute arbitrary code on the system by sending a specially crafted Bluetooth packet. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
