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 remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - bluez: Buffer overflow in parse_line function (CVE-2016-7837)

  - In BlueZ 5.42, a buffer over-read was observed in l2cap_dump function in tools/parser/l2cap.c source     file. This issue can be triggered by processing a corrupted dump file and will result in hcidump crash.
    (CVE-2016-9797)

  - In BlueZ 5.42, a use-after-free was identified in conf_opt function in tools/parser/l2cap.c source     file. This issue can be triggered by processing a corrupted dump file and will result in hcidump crash.
    (CVE-2016-9798)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - bluez: heap-based buffer overflow via crafted request (CVE-2019-8922)

  - 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)

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.
