Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:014
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : bluez-utils
Date : January 15, 2007
Affected: 2006.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
hidd in BlueZ (bluez-utils) before 2.25 allows remote attackers to
obtain control of the (1) Mouse and (2) Keyboard Human Interface Device
(HID) via a certain configuration of two HID (PSM) endpoints, operating
as a server, aka HidAttack.
hidd is not enabled by default on Mandriva 2006.0. This update adds the
--nocheck option (disabled by default) to the hidd binary, which
defaults to rejecting connections from unknown devices unless --nocheck
is enabled.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem
