Description Mark J. Cox 2005-03-25 17:53:41 UTC
(Affects RHEL3, but 2.4 needs a slightly altered patch)

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #152177 +++

A flaw was discovered by Ilja van Sprundel in the bluetooth driver affecting 2.4
and 2.6.  On system where bluetooth modules are loaded, a local user could use
this flaw to gain root privileges.
