Background ========== BlueZ is a set of Bluetooth tools and system daemons for Linux. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-wireless/bluez-utils < 3.36 >= 3.36 2 net-wireless/bluez-libs < 3.36 >= 3.36 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== It has been reported that the Bluetooth packet parser does not validate string length fields in SDP packets. Impact ====== 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. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All bluez-utils users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-wireless/bluez-utils-3.36" All bluez-libs users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-wireless/bluez-libs-3.36" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-2374 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2374 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200903-29.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
