CVE-2006-6106
Multiple buffer overflows in the cmtp_recv_interopmsg function in the Bluetooth driver (net/bluetooth/cmtp/capi.c) in the Linux kernel 2.4.22 up to 2.4.33.4 and 2.6.2 before 2.6.18.6, and 2.6.19.x, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.79%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Multiple buffer overflows in the cmtp_recv_interopmsg function in the Bluetooth driver (net/bluetooth/cmtp/capi.c) in the Linux kernel 2.4.22 up to 2.4.33.4 and 2.6.2 before 2.6.18.6, and 2.6.19.x, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via CAPI messages with a large value for the length of the (1) manu (manufacturer) or (2) serial (serial number) field.
