- Low
- Medium
- High
- Critical
Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12351)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the BlueZ implementation in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12352)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in BlueZ implementation in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can pass specially crafted input to the application and gain access to sensitive information.
3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24490)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within BlueZ implementation in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can pass specially crated data to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
