USN-7179-2

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. (CVE-2020-12351)

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-12352)

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth HCI event packet parser in the Linux kernel did not properly handle event advertisements of certain sizes, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-24490)

• GPU drivers;
• Media drivers;
• Network drivers;
• SMB network file system;
• Bluetooth subsystem;
• Amateur Radio drivers;
• Network traffic control;
• VMware vSockets driver; (CVE-2024-35963, CVE-2024-38553, CVE-2024-35965, CVE-2024-26822, CVE-2024-35966, CVE-2024-53057, CVE-2024-43904, CVE-2024-50264, CVE-2024-40973, CVE-2024-40910, CVE-2024-35967)
