NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bluez package and not the bluez package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In BlueZ 5.42, an out-of-bounds read was observed in "le_meta_ev_dump" function in "tools/parser/hci.c" source file. This issue exists because 'subevent' (which is used to read correct element from 'ev_le_meta_str' array) is overflowed.
