CVE-2010-1084
Linux kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.33, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a large number of Bluetooth sockets, related to the size of sysfs files in (1) net/bluetooth/l2cap.c, (2)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
