BlueZ: Arbitrary code execution Insufficient input validation in BlueZ may lead to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service. bluez-utils bluez-libs 2009-03-16 2009-03-16: 01 230591 local, remote 3.36 3.36 3.36 3.36

BlueZ is a set of Bluetooth tools and system daemons for Linux.

It has been reported that the Bluetooth packet parser does not validate string length fields in SDP packets.

A physically proximate attacker using a Bluetooth device with an already established trust relationship could send specially crafted requests, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution or a crash. Exploitation may also be triggered by a local attacker registering a service record via a UNIX socket or D-Bus interface.

There is no known workaround at this time.
