CESA-2007:0065: bluez-utils security update
Description
Updated bluez-utils packages that fix a security flaw are now available for CentOS Linux 4. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
The bluez-utils package contains Bluetooth daemons and utilities. A flaw was found in the Bluetooth HID daemon (hidd). A remote attacker would have been able to inject keyboard and mouse events via a Bluetooth connection without any authorization. (CVE-2006-6899) Note that CentOS Linux does not come with the Bluetooth HID daemon enabled by default. Users of bluez-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue.
