Go to dashboardThe Linux kernel's Bluetooth BNEP driver reads packet headers and Ethernet headers without checking the frame is long enough, causing out-of-bounds heap reads. The sources do not say whether an attacker can reliably use this beyond reading kernel memory.
Summary written from the sources below. Check the originals before acting.

Systems running a Linux kernel with Bluetooth BNEP support, typically desktops and devices that use Bluetooth personal area networking. Machines without Bluetooth hardware or with the bnep module not loaded are unlikely to be exposed. The sources do not list specific affected kernel versions.
