Buffer overflow in BlueZ 5.41 and earlier allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via the parse_line function used in some userland utilities.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Buffer overflow in BlueZ 5.41 and earlier allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via the parse_line     function used in some userland utilities. (CVE-2016-7837)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4311-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that BlueZ incorrectly handled bonding HID and HOGP devices. A local attacker could     possibly use this issue to impersonate non-bonded devices. (CVE-2020-0556)

    It was discovered that BlueZ incorrectly handled certain commands. A local attacker could use this issue     to cause BlueZ to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue     only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-7837)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
