CVE-2008-2374 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. src/sdp.c in bluez-libs 3.30 in BlueZ, and other bluez-libs before 3.34 and bluez-utils before 3.34 versions, does not validate string length fields in SDP packets, which allows remote SDP servers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length field that triggers excessive memory allocation or a buffer over-read.. EPSS estimates a 4.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
