Photon OS 3.0: Bluez PHSA-2021-3.0-0346

medium Nessus Plugin ID 156584

Synopsis

The remote PhotonOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

An update of the bluez package has been released.

 - BlueZ is a Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux. In affected versions a vulnerability exists in sdp_cstate_alloc_buf which allocates memory which will always be hung in the singly linked list of cstates and will not be freed. This will cause a memory leak over time. The data can be a very large object, which can be caused by an attacker continuously sending sdp packets and this may cause the service of the target device to crash. (CVE-2021-41229)

Solution

Update the affected Linux packages.
