CVE-2013-0349

CVSS v2.0

1.9

Low

VectorAV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.7.6
Description The issue concerns the hidp setup hid function in net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c, which does not properly handle the copying of certain name fields. This allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by setting a long name and making an HIDPCONNADD ioctl call. No information is provided about the estimated number of potentially affected devices or real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.7.6, update to version 3.7.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the hidp setup hid function until a patch is available. Avoid using the HIDPCONNADD ioctl call with long names in the affected kernel versions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
