CVE-2012-6544
Last modified
CVE-2012-6544 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Bluetooth protocol stack in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not properly initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application that targets the (1) L2CAP or (2) HCI implementation.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
