Check for the version of the bluez-utils package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2007:014 (bluez-utils). hidd in BlueZ (bluez-utils) before 2.25 permits remote attackers to obtain control of the (1) Mouse and (2) Keyboard Human Interface Device (HID) via a certain configuration of two HID (PSM) endpoints, operating as a server, aka HidAttack. hidd is not enabled by default on Mandriva 2006.0. This update adds the --nocheck option (disabled by default) to the hidd binary, which defaults to rejecting connections from unknown devices unless --nocheck is enabled. The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem Solution : http://wwwnew.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:014 Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2007 Tenable Network Security |
