CVE-2020-12352

Published: 14 October 2020

Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via adjacent access.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
