What is CVE-2008-2374?

CVE-2008-2374 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in Fedoraproject Fedora, published on 7 Jul 2008. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

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.

Weakness: CWE-1284
