CVE-2011-1079

Linux Kernel < 2.6.39 - Information Disclosure and Denial of Service via BNEPCONNADD Command

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The bnep_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not ensure that a certain device field ends with a '\0' character, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory, or cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash), via a BNEPCONNADD command.
