CVE-2020-12351
Publication date 14 October 2020
Last updated 24 July 2024
Ubuntu priority
Improper input validation in BlueZ may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent access.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
