Frequently Asked Questions
1
What is the vulnerability CVE-2012-6544?
CVE-2012-6544 is a vulnerability in the Bluetooth protocol stack of the Linux kernel that allows local users to access sensitive information from kernel stack memory due to improper initialization of certain structures.
2
What versions of the Linux kernel are affected by CVE-2012-6544?
CVE-2012-6544 affects Linux kernel versions before 3.6, including various versions in the 3.0 to 3.5.x series.
3
What is the severity of CVE-2012-6544?
CVE-2012-6544 is considered to have a medium severity as it allows local users to exploit sensitive information but does not allow remote code execution.
4
How do I fix CVE-2012-6544?
To fix CVE-2012-6544, update your Linux kernel to version 3.6 or later, where the issue has been addressed.
