Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
It has been reported that the Bluetooth packet parser does not validate |
42 |
string length fields in SDP packets. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A physically proximate attacker using a Bluetooth device with an |
48 |
already established trust relationship could send specially crafted |
49 |
requests, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution or a crash. |
50 |
Exploitation may also be triggered by a local attacker registering a |
51 |
service record via a UNIX socket or D-Bus interface. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
