Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

1) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU16198

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19665

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in various Bluetooth functions in routines wherein 'len' parameter is a 'signed int' which subsequently converts to an unsigned integer. An adjacent attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions
