Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2019-3460
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 5.1-rc1
**Description**
A heap data infoleak was found in multiple locations, including the `L2CAP PARSE CONF RSP` function, in the Linux kernel. This issue is related to a buffer overflow in the heap, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain access to confidential data.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.1-rc1, update to a version 5.1-rc1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `L2CAP PARSE CONF RSP` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
