Ubuntu 18.04 LTS : GNOME Bluetooth vulnerability (USN-3856-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 121186

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3856-1 advisory.

 Chris Marchesi discovered that BlueZ incorrectly handled disabling Bluetooth visibility. A remote attacker could possibly pair to devices, contrary to expectations. This update adds a workaround to GNOME Bluetooth to fix the issue.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
