Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

bluez-hcidump

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1.5-2ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 1.12-1ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 1.23-0ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Pierre Betouin discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the handling of the L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Layer Protocol) layer. By sending a specially crafted L2CAP packet through a wireless Bluetooth connection, a remote attacker could crash hcidump.

Since hcidump is mainly a debugging tool, the impact of this flaw is very low.
