CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 kernel-firmware to version 0:2.6.32-358.14.1.el6 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2013:1051.

NVD Description

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

The bt_sock_recvmsg function in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not properly initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.
