CVE-2011-2497

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.0

Description The issue is caused by an integer underflow in the l2cap config req function, which can lead to a denial of service due to heap memory corruption or possibly have other unspecified impacts. This occurs when a small command-size value is sent within the command header of a Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) configuration request, resulting in a buffer overflow.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.0, update to version 3.0 or later to resolve the issue.
