FKIE_CVE-2011-1079
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2012-06-21 23:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:28
Severity
Summary
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.
