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
