Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56337
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-256-1 (bluez-hcidump)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to bluez-hcidump
announced via advisory USN-256-1.

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

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.

Solution:
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.
